A: Pours amber color, lots of bubbles in the glass. very small head, zero lacing down the glass. Apperance is not impressive
S: Smell is sweet and malty. Also smells kindof musty like wet cardboard or something. Slight nutty smell.
T: Pretty much same as smell. Malty and sweet, nutty.
M: Good mouthfeel, not too much not too little carbonation.
D: Apperance isn't much, but this is a darn tasty beer. Very well done English Ale. Thanks to limesmut for this beer.

A- Thin off white head on a murky darker orange body.
S- Grass hops, sweet malt, stale aroma, might be a little skunked but by other reviews maybe not.
T- Decent size hop flavor right up front followed by a sweet stale malt witch is then followed by what tastes like the off aroma. The hops do linger on for a bit though.
M- Medium body with medium carbonation.
D- I wouldn't advise seeking this one out. It is kind of drinkable but at the same time not really. If the hops weren't so big in this it would be one nasty beer, but thanks to the hops to cover up some bad tasting malt and whatever else is in there.

Color is right on, but the head is a little weak even for an English-style ale.

Smell is all malt; I get no hops at all. Caramel and roast are predominant.

Taste is malt as well; but with a noticeable amount of oxidation that overpowers any subtleties.

Mouth feel and drinkability are run-of-the-mill. I don't think I'll be buying any more of this.

Poured a medium amber with a one finger head and little retention. Aroma is mild with some sugars and bready malts present. Taste is a roasty malt base with sweet carmel and light earthy hops. The roastiness was a little too much for me and made it tough to enjoy the beer. Interesting that this beer seems fresh, but is not noted on the company website.
