Bottle. Amber beer with a whitish head. Caramel, toffee, grassy aroma. Woodsy, earthy, grassy hop flavor that lingers. Light malt backing. Medium bodied. Showcases fuggles well. Hop flavor lingers.

12 oz bottle. Poured a yellowy shade of amber with barely any lacing. Aroma is present, an earthy, toasty, hop aroma. Taste is watery with a bittery hop flavor. Aroma is the best part, otherwise nothing worth drinking.

Light golden ale with a thick collapsable white head. Aroma rather reminiscent of malt and egg salad sandwich. In mouth, crisp malt with sharp little lactic notes, corn adjunct, and light hops in finale. Not impressed. Bought at Beers of the World, Feb. 2006. BB 31/01/06.

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy fully golden colour with a small, white head. Fresh, lightly citrusy hop aroma. Light-bodied from what I believe is pure pale ale malt. Dry, hoppy finish. A very fresh summer quencher. 030306

I am not real familiar with this brewer but I am generally a fan of fuggles hops. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright copper color with a medium sized white head that faded very quickly. The aroma is woody. The flavor is sharply woody with an earthy undertone and light pale malts mildly evident. The finish is dry and earthy. There is a bit of an alcohol flavor on the finish. I like fuggles hops but this one seems a bit overdone.

An orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light honey notes, while the flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, that makes the mouthfeel a bit sticky, but the end is OK hoppy to raise the overall impression.

Pour is a golden with a white head. Aroma is a honey sweet. Flavor is bitter and mellow. You do get faint hops in there and i mean faint! This beer reminds me of a typical; lager in every way the only problem is there are better lagers out there than this beer.

British hops just aren’t very good - therefore, british beers that accentuate the hops tend not to be very good either - this beer is no exception - the aroma is of very faint malt and not much else - the hops are stale, flat and lifeless, and give the beer a bitter finish - not the good, mouthwatering hop kind of bitter- more like a "hey, I just ate a lemon wedge, rind and all" kind of bitter - this quality overpowers the beer’s other flavors, which are limited to begin with - not a very good beer experience.
