(Can 50 cl) Pale amber, almost no head. Almost no aroma. Light-bodied and slightly watery, but a great hoppy sensation from the lovely aroma hops added. Not much bitterness though. 280502

Gee another crappy English ale. Sampled from a 16.9 oz can this beer poured a bronze color with a huge tan head that lingered. The aroma is grassy and peppery. The flavor is tangy, grassy and peppery. The finish is tangy and dry. Sadly the appearance was the only noteworthy part of this beer.

[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] An amber beer with a nice beige head. The aroma is very light with notes of caramel - too light for my liking. The flavor is roasted toffeish on a mineral background, and with a dry rather bitter end. The body is somewhat thin.

(Bottle 50 cl) Vintage 1996. Very dark brown, almost black, with only the tiniest head. Very full-bodied with a vinous character and a vague metallic edge. Very characterful beer, lots of personality here. 290800

(Bottle 50 cl) Dark golden with a handsome, rich head. Weak, nutty, malty flavours with a marked, bitter finish. Decent, but not really very premium... 310700
