Bottle, as England’s Own. A clear, golden beer topped by a dense, white head. Lighlty citrusy nose with pale malts and a faint toffee touch in the back. Fruity, lighlty flowery flavor with pale malts and some citrus. A pleasant bitterness chimes in towards the end. Medium body, a tad too dry. A decent beer, but utterly boring. 120817

Drank 18th Feb 2012: Clear 500ml bottle, best before Dec 2012. Light golden colour almost straw blond, the head was poor. The smell was poor, as was the taste and body depth. There was a mini floral aroma and the beer did have a hoppy dry feel to its flavours but it wasn’t a wonderfully exciting or tasty beer in any way: just another supermarket brew from a brewery that specialises in such beers. The rear label mentions Elderflower and White grapes in the taste: I couldn’t find any of either apart from some flowery esters in the nose.

Brown 500ml bottle of an Quintessentially English Ale (according to the neck label anyway). Best before Nov 2008, drank on a crisp, cold English evening in Feb 2008. Poured into a vase shaped ’Old Speckled Hen’ pint glass. Pale golden colour, almost pilsner in appearance, Dortmunder style deeper gold is maybe closer. the head like those of pilsners and Dorts was white and wispy, no retension and thin. There is no wheat in the brew, but the aroma hinted there might be, a flowery almost sweet pea smell with hops and yeast thrown in for good measure. A little fizzy, but a pleasant clean tasting ale, bitter but not harsh. More fruity than malty, the hops are weak in my opinion. The mouthfeel is fine, the flavours linger longer than the head did and the 4.6% is there for you to enjoy as the mouth drys. All in all, not a bad beer. I would like to try it on cask if it is in fact sold that way.

Blond to golden color with small head. The aroma is rather vulgar at first, but suddenly has a spicy, peppery note. The mouthfeel is weak and dry, with not much flavor or bitterness, then again some spices.

(bottle) Clear pale god with decent head. Nice aroma of citrus and grassy hops. Light body and fizzy. Flavor has a sweet candy and pineapple start with a disappointing thin metallic finish. Overall, a nice start but a dsappointing finish
