Great amber/cola coloured body with a dense tan head. Aroma of good english hops, still strong, a good maltiness and a pleasant caramel scent. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong hops up front with lower a.a., then showing some malts then fading to a caramel and toffee flavour, just as a bitter usually does. Aftertaste is a bit more mild, not showing too many hops at all. Overall, a decent beer-about an average bitter. This bottle is about 16 months old, and still shows a good hop character, so I can imagine this one being even better fresh! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Liquor Mart in Boulder, Colorado in August 2003, on 29-November-2004.

Very caramelly/malty - nice smooth palate with almost herbal hops. Good amber color.
