[Cask at GBBF 2004] A red-brown beer with a light brown head - on the lighter sides of milds. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet with caramel being most dominant - it is hard to find the roastyness.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] A dark orange beer with a huge beige head. The aroma is lovely fruity and hoppy. The flavor is very fruity with a dry hoppy end and a smooth mouthfeel.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An amber beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, while the flavor is malty combined with notes of caramel, and the body is very thin. A boring beer.

Light golden amber with the smooth, cramy head of nitro-cans. Flavor is creamy malts... kinda smooth, but not overly impressive.

Can: Poured a light clear brown ale with just above average head with medium retention. Aroma is light bitter with some malt in the back. Taste is quite weak with some bitterness but also a watery feeling that was quite a letdown. Probably below your average English bitter.

I guess I was influenced by the fact that this is the official beer of the English Rugby team. Not bad - malt/hop aroma, dark tan color, low carbonation with full malt and moderate hops flavor with typical ale sweetness with a bit more bitterness to it than other English bitters. Not bad but not my favorite bitters.

Amber color; creamy head. Ordinary aroma; smooth taste, quite poor, just lightly malty-fruity. Unfortunately the final (strong bitterness) is paper-like and metallic.

A light nut brown beer with a dense beige head. The aroma is nice of nuts, malt, flowers, hops, and caramel. The mouthfeel is very smooth with strong notes of caramel and lesser notes of wood, and malt.

Canned. Lighter golden body with a nitro white head. Slight malty nose with faint hops. Key word is light for the tatse, with light malts, and faint salty aftertaste. Light body, read watery. Another lagery ale from the UK.
