Pours amber into an English pint. Offwhite micro head with good retention leaves spotted sheets as it recedes to coat surface. Sweet pit fruit aromas. Full and bready with caramel and raisins upfront, turning slightly metallic toward the bitter hop finish. Nice flavor for the abv.

[500ml bottle from Tescos Haverfordwest] 4.2% ABV when I tried it. Moderate carbonation (a little too fizzy for the beer) with a small foamy beige head. Sweet malt flavour, very easy drinking - reminded me in some ways of a pale lager. A good, thirst-quenching session bitter, but nothing special.

Bottle from The Wine Merchant Ltd. in (near) St. Louis, MO. Coppery amber color with a frothy off-white head. Floral and fruit aromas. Near medium body with watery/frothy carbonation. Flavor is reddish roasted caramel. with floral bitter. Very pleasant. Suggests an ESB, given the florality. It is very tasty and drinkable. Sessionable.

Pour is a orange with a small tan head. Aroma is small caramel malts and some mutsyness. Flavor is again some subtle mustyness with some light caramel notes. Pretty light in all categories.
