(bottle) Slightly hazy orangey amber colour with a short creamy off-white head. Toastmalty, slightly leafy aroma with caramel and notes of floral hops and a tinge of fruitiness. Full malty taste, slightly tasty and buttery with caramel, medium to light bodied, smooth mouthfeel; dry and bitter hoppy finish with liquorice.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury. Amber colour with thin white head. Nice hop and some goodish malt on the aroma. Toffee and some coffee. Just not as good as on draught. Boy that pasteurisation/filtration, it just strips all the flavour out and leaves a metallic feel in the mouth

Half-liter can from Sam’s Wines, Downers Grove. Nice deep copper colored pour, light tan head, about half an inch in a shaker. Good fresh beer smell, even a note of fresh hops. Nice caramel sweetness, plentiful but absolutely not cloying. As I said, hops taste very fresh and grassy, nicely balanced. For a force carbonated can, it does a slight approximation of an English draught in the slightly "watery" mouthfeel. Should have let this one warm up a little bit, perhaps.

Bottle: Amber coloured, thin foamy off-white layer; malty, fruity (raisins) nose with traces of molasses, a tinge of hops,too; moderate bitter-sweet (malty) flavour; long bitter-malty-fruity (liquorice) finish. Pleasant and quite well rounded.

Copper brown, small good looking off-white creamy head. Sweet toffeeish-caramelly nose. Medium-bodied. Starts oaky-hoppy, slightly sugary then hoppy bitter finish and aftertaste. A bit Fullers ESB -like ale.

Amber beer with little head. Caramel and roast malt aroma, with some hops and honey, but the caramel is too dominating. The caramel is still there as it enters the mouth, but a rich hops flavour quickly takes over. Long bitter aftertaste.
