Bottle at home with Lyoli. Pours clear gold with a modest, white head. Some honey, malts and yeast on the nose. Flavor is lightly sweet, faintly bready with some kind of tart citrus. Light to medium in body with lively carbonation. Finishes very crisp with fine, citrus bitters, mild sugars and hints of alcohol. Decent.

Bottle, drank after a run through Hyde Park on a crisp, January day. Pours clear, dull copper with a foamy, off-white head. Lightly toasted malts, straw, faint metal, and light citrus on the nose. Dried, lightly sugary malts, crisp leaves, faint bread, copper pennies and mild, earthy bitterness in the flavor. Light to medium in body with fairly effervescent, mouth-filling carbonation. Quite dry on the finish, kind of metallic, some dull, lumpy bitterness in the throat, with a nondescript malt character. Certainly drinkable but very bland.

Purchased at Breeze Thru in Milwaukee, WI; consumed on a Saturday afternoon in cold January. Just blah. Aroma somewhat metallic with English ale yeast. Appearance a clear amber with a thin white head. Taste also metallic, bland, like a lager with English ale yeast. Definitely dry but not refreshing.

Bottle: Golden with a orangey sheen, hazy, lively carbonation, small and stable off-white head; quite distinctive fruity-bready nose with faint traces of lemon peel; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, relatively soft; slightly lingering fruity-hoppy finish with bready and lemony flavours. Decent english stuff....

a very enjoyable ale..a little light for an old ale, both in body and in abv, but very drinkable, one of the first i tried to test myself on and determine the style by the aroma and flavor, old ale was my second guess. not going to say what my first guess was. very good.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Distinct and toffee and caramel notes in this otherwise unremarkable but drinkable bitter.

Pint at the Station Inn, Conisbrough. Served a little too cold. Dark for a porter, more stout like. But fairly decent

(bottle) Hazy, amber colour with a loose medium-sized tanned foamy head. Fruity and toast-malty aroma with notes of caramel, berries and a touch of liquorice. Sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a calm carbonation. Mildly toasty malty and fruity taste with notes of berries and citrus, accompanied by liquorice spice; fruity and slightly toasty finish. Classical stuff. 15.XII.10
