Nice nut brown color. Thin, but steady head. Nutty, hoppy aroma. Hoppy flavor with caramel, hazelnuts and butter. Long bitter fnish. Typical English ale of good quality.

Copper color, soft malty nose, wood, a touch of apples and peaches in the nose. Not well balanced, but hops and malts play there roles in the mouth, with a mildly bitter finish.

Bottled. Dark amber (or copper) coloured, with mediumsized white head. Hoppy and malty nose, nothing special... Flavour is fruitish hoppy with some malty hints. OK bitter, but expect nothing special.

An amber beer with a fine, but fast disappearing head. The aroma is slight with notes of sweetness and fruit. The flavor is flat, but malty sweet. It is the best Badger beer I've had - but it's no more than just above average.
