Pour is a hazy red with a large white head. Aroma is your typical earthy English malts. Flavor is super bitter with a bit of dirty malts, raisions and a strange metalic aftertaste. It was ok up until the swallow when the metal kicked in. Not to good and overpriced.

Bottle from Top’s Liquor in Tempe, AZ. Slightly hazy light amber color with a frothy off-white head. Mild fruity aroma. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is light caramel with astringent apple flavor. The astringency relents a bit in the finish, and some malt comes back. Pretty well balanced. Reasonably tasty. Underrated?

Orange color. Aroma has malt and some green apple, a little oxidation. Very dry flavor with mild English hops. It might be a little old, but is is OK.
