How about it - a new SN beer to rate after all these years! This one comes across as a pretty standard brown ale, with a reddish-brown color, medium head, and notes of cocoa, caramel, and maybe a touch of coffee in both aroma and flavor. Hopping is light, as expected. Light to medium body. However, there was something else I couldn’t quite put my finger on, and the best I could say is that it had a "yum" factor...sort of a sweet alcohol type of effect that was somewhat remiscient of abbey dubbel. It was nice and bumps this beer up over most brown ales.

2004 bottle - Pours amber with a moderate head. It smells of citrus hops and some malt. The flavor includes caramel malts, citrusy hops, and some interesting spice. This bottle was a couple years old and the hops had probably mellowed somewhat, but the balance was exceptional. I think it’s aging pretty well.

250ml draught at The Rake, Borough Market (16.09.2006). Goden body with missing head. Fresh and fruity aroma. Flavour is fruity with notes of hops, yeast and some supporting malts. Crispated. A good thirst quencher on a warn day in London. Very relaxing outdoor seating at the Rake (great place and friendly staff).

I was convinced that I’d rated this before. Anyway have had this over in the states in bottles frequently, but more often than not of late this is becoming much easier too pick up in Sainsburys. and other larger supermarkets here in the UK. Pours a golden amber colour with a lively head if you’re anything like me at pouring. Really good fresh citrusy, hoppy notes, good hoppy taste and very refreshing, great example of its type.

On tap at Beach & Brew Seaside OR. Pours out a nice amber topped with a white head. A nice aroma for a Pale ale.
