(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful deep amber with a frothy and very lively head. Very malty, lightly caramelish character, finely balanced by a harmonious bitterness. 050301

Sampled on draft at Smokin’ Joes in Pittsburgh this beer poured a cooper color with a small white head. There was a light sweet aroma. The flavor is lightly malty, faintly sweet and very mildly hoppy. Another boring English ale, yawn.

Canned, clear orange colour, creamy white head. Smell is malty and bitter. So far so good, looks like a more promising one than Caffreys Irish Ale, but no. Once you taste this one you get the big surprise, it’s very watery and the only taste I find is a very sour one. The taste completely spoils the beer imo. It gets worse and worse the warmer it gets. Plus points for that it looks nice, and it feels good in the mouth (with taste not counted). But that’s almost the only positive things.

The color is a hazy amber and it has a white head. The aroma is sour hoppy is it lack of sugar or brewing cereal? The flavor is malty with notes of straw and a slightly hoppy end. A below average beer.

This ale pours a dark orange colour with a white creamy head. Toasted grain and hops with citrus notes are present. Slightly metallic scent too. First sip is smooth and also metallic tasting. The flavour isn't watery but almost ????oily? It seems to coat the tongue and leaves you till the end where it finishes with that metallic flavour again with a slight bitterness. Average ale.

Light orange amber color. Moderate white cream head. Has some zing to it, in that it has more of a piney hops flavor, almost a delicate spice. Body was medium and nothing to brag about. A step up from Old Speckled, and somewhat better than boddingtons. A bit stale in the aftertaste maybe? could be worse, there is some redeeming maltiness.

Gold in colour with almost no head. The aroma was pretty subdued with only a minimal amount of hops and malt coming through. The taste was equally as subtle. No complexity and a somewhat metallic taste leaved an unhappy aftertaste in my mouth. I would rather have a Carlsberg than this anyday.

On draught at Mac's Cafe in Columbus. Amber color with a thin off-white head. Mild malt aroma. Very smooth and boring flavor, nothing at all stands out. Thin and somewhat creamy finish. While not offensive, I won't bother getting this again.
