A smooth-tasting ale enhanced to offer an elegant happy floral nose, a nutty malty palate and a lingering malty sweetness.

Pours copper-amber with a frothy, parchment coloured head. Aroma is slightly skunked, (clear glass) caramel malt, flowers. Taste is slightly nutty, slightly stale, caramel malt. A bit of earthy, leafy bitter. Ok, but a bit bland.

Drank directly from a crystal clear bottle. This beer is classified as a bitter but I find very little bitter attributes within. Very mellow and easy to get along with. Some cabbage on the pop but that is to be expected considering the bottle. Nice clean lookin almost brown pale beer. Yes, goes down fairly easy. These lower alky beers are fun to deal with. There are some ale attributes present but fer sure its better than some of those moreland beers Iโve had like speckeld hen but this may not be as good as the golden hen I had on cask. On the finish this beer is trying to a little bitter but never quite gets there.

Clear 500ml bottle drank a week before its best before date in late October 2008. Poured into a Batemans pint sleeve glass. Clear, bright, teak brown or red wood in colour depending on how it caught the light. The off-white head soon went to just a collar. Toffee aroma, mixed with caramel and some malts, nothing spectaclar. The aroma wasnโt anywhere in the taste, which was tinny and metallic. Very dry in the mouthfeel and aftertaste for such a good smelling beer. No redeeming features apart from its looks, a fizzy beer that Iโll not be trying again.

A golden amber ale with a thick receeding off white head. A very sweet vanilla malt, with light vinous notes, some treacle, pleasant oxidation effects. In mouth, a good treacle and woody maple malt, lightly oily, a bit hoppy, floral. Not bad, a tad cloying.

12 ounce bottle from Market Street Wineshop Downtown Charlottesville, VA. Pours an amber color with a large, creamy head. Good retention and very nice lacing. Very malty and slightly grainy aroma with the faintest hint of hops. The taste is very similar, but with some toffee and a tart finish. Creamy mouthfeel and medium bodied. Finally, a beer from Greene King that doesn’t completely suck.

12 oz bottle from Country Club Liquors; gusher right out the bottle top; dark copper with a huge beige head; Nose of light caramel with a little skunky, "off" note; flavor was caramel with only a tiny amount of background bitterness; I am not overly impressed! 4/17/08 4/4/5/2/9 2.4 12 oz bottle from GM Liquors; got a non skunked bottle! Nose of light caramel and a grassy, nutty hoppiness; No gusher this time; lightly hazy copper with a small beige head; flavor a good balance of hop bitterness and caramel malt and a light fruity note! Much better!
