500ml bottle @ RBNAG’07. Fine golden body with a medium white head. Aroma is fine, mild hoppy and vague malty. Flavor is nice, mild bitter with medium malt profile. Medium body. All in all a decent bitter at a relatively low ABV.

[i] Cask regularly, usually at the Swan Bicester [/i] Pours copper in colour with pretty good hop and malt nose and also some lingering fruit. Tastes malty at first but then some fruits come through followed by bitterness at end.

A hazy amber ale with a thin white head. In aroma, light hops, biscuit, and yeast. In mouth, a rather nice crisp malt, yeast, and crisp hops. very English. Some lactic notes develop as beer warms up. Medium bodied. A very good offering from the LCBO.

[i] Bottle from Sainsbury, Heyford Hill, Oxford [/i] Poured light golden in colour with white head. Nice fruity slightly crisp and hoppy beer with a lovely smooth balance between bitterness and honey sweetness. Really enjoyed this beer.

This ale poured a cloudy light orange colour with a bright white head. To the nose it had scents of citrus and a stong sharp bitter hopp scent. First taste was nice and smooth with flavours of orange citrus and spice. there is a little smoke flavour to it along with spice. the finish is slightly bitter with fruit juice flavours and the palate isa combination of that and a little bitterness.

Medium offwhite head. Light brown body. Nutty malty aroma with hoppy notes. Dry papery light malt taste with medicinal rubbery notes. Watery mouthfeel. No real aftertaste, but medicinal taste lingers. Didn’t enjoy this too much. (0.5l bottle at RBNAG’07.)
