What a name. Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer pours a dark brown color with a medium sized light brown head. There is a mild malty aroma. It has a basic ale flavor and character with absolutely nothing noteworthy in any way. Pleasant but relatively unremarkable. The Yuengling Lager of English ales.

The aroma is sweet spicy and flowery. The color is amber and it has a small disappearing white head. The flavor is sweet with notes of honey and flowers (elder?) before it ends on a dry hoppy note. Quite disappointing.

This is a good looking beer if not one with a stand alone taste. Rather thin, could use either more hops or malt or both in order to go in some direction. Young's makes to many overlapping session type beers. Not bad, but nothing exceptional.

Golden to orange color, nice perlage. Simple aroma: sweet, a bit malty, oranges, rubber. Simple taste, with a residual sweetness and a light pleasant fruitness. Nice bitterness, and in the finish finally we find the elderflowers. Easy and interesting drink before a dinner.

Which beer should I celebrate my 1000th sample - other than a Celebration Ale for a book that is a must for any visit to Britain. The aroma is very light, malty with notes of fruit and berries. The color is amber and it has a fine bubbly though fast disappearing head. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of yeast, flowers, and fruit. It ends on a dry woody and hoppy note. A very nice and drikable ale.
