Pours a deep red color with no lasting head. Aroma is slightly metalic. Flavor is caramel malts. I do not get and fruit like others have. I also do not get much hops like the bottle says i should. Not the best barley wine I have had.

Clear yellow color, short head. Unimpressive pilsner. Soft, bit bitter, bit hoppy.

Bottle - great rich hops and malt aroma - extremely pleasant. Dark tan with light brown head. A well-balanced brew - excellent hops flavor with no bitterness (must be something in those Kew hops).

Golden-brown colour. Light caramelly taste. Fairy quick. Hint of cardboard. This type of by-the-numbers bland bottled ale is why so many Americans (and others) think English ales aren’t very interesting.

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.
