From old tasting notes. Brilliant amber red color. Thick creamy beige head. Wonderfully buttery, toffee malt aroma. A robust malty flavor with a generous hop balance (Kent Goldings?). Very true to the British style of bitter.

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear dark red color with nearly no head. Aroma is caramel with nutty notes and subtle chocolate. Taste is chocolate, caramel, leafy hops, caramel, peach, apple and other subtle fruity notes. Medium bodied.

bottle - Pours amber (whodathunk?) with a one finger head and a light, malty aroma. The flavor is mild bready, caramel malt. It’s light to medium bodied, smooth, and kind of watery. There’s just not much going on here. huh... just noticed this one was my 1000th American beer rated. Too bad I didn’t pick a better one.

My bottle says Oxford Organic Ales, nothing about clipper city on this label..... General good yeasty beer aroma, not off. Caught a whiff of candy in the background, when I close my eyes, I imagine Im in a candy shop. Color is somewhat darker iced tea. I thought I saw some bottom of the bottle sediment in the pour but upon closer inspection it may be filtered. Has what seems to be a slight metallic flavor on the initial sip. Decent creamy carbonation which is welcomed. Has a few ale illmannerisms but is certainly not over the top for a ubiquitous lager lover. Seems a little viscous in the glass. In the finish it seems to have more than 4.8% alky. Lingering darker ale end of session.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a mahogany color with a small brown head that faded quickly. The aroma was nicely malty, lightly roasty and had a hint of ripe fruits. The flavor was dryish and faintly tart with light fruits and a touch of nut. Rather subdued.

12oz bottle. Deep amber brown color with a frothy head. Mellow doughy aroma. A crisp hoppy taste at first sip, which fades into a smooth, medium to light bodied malty sweet finish. A pretty pleasant session beer, but nothing special.

From cask at Northern Virginia Summer BrewFest. Beer pours an slightly darker amber color with a white head. The aroma is sweet, with a nice malt component. Pretty refreshing in my opinion.
