(Can) = Fairly strong cherry/berry aroma. Amber color as you can see. Sweet malt and hops flavor - slight bitterness and berry aroma is much subtler with the taste.

A very good English ale - not too strong with a nice ale flavor (sweet and malted hops).

Draught
Clear nut brown, mahogany. Perfect off-white creamy and steady head. Mild aroma, a bit soapy, weak coffee. Light to medium bodied, smooth mouthfeel. Not much roast - watery. Quite similar to Kilkenny but thinner and weaker mouthfeel. (3/4/6/4/10 2.7)
Re-rated draught
Nut brown, flowery nose. Light-bodied but a good amount of flowery Goldings hops is present. Totally different than in my first sample - it was Irish Ale, this was more like a bitter. (6/3/6/3/12 3.0)

Draught @Pub Höyry, Tampere
Dark copper, beautiful creamy head. Not much aroma, slightly hoppy. Very smooth hoppy palate. Caramel tones and some bitterness in the finish. Much better than "light" version.

Sampled cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm.
Dark amber. Aroma of melon and cucumber left in the fridge for weeks. Medium sweet with estery, tea-like hoppiness and light, sparkling mouthfeel. Notes of strawberry jelly as well. Watery finish with low bitterness. An odd bird.

Got a bottle at the cafe in the Tower of London. Brown color with a thin beige head. Little lacing to be had. Very sweet aroma of malt, along with a hint of sourness. Medium body with an odd flavoring. It is mostly sweet caramel malt, with an underlying sour fruit and smoke character. The finish is on the thin side. Overall this beer is lacking in many areas but it is not terrible.

Dark copper/wild honey color. Medium beautiful beige head. Strong hoppy aroma (slightly dunk). Very dry malt taste with hints of toffee. Hopped, maybe a bit watery finish. Light bitter aftertaste. This could be good if it wouldn't be so watery (lacking ABV).
