An copper coloured English ale with little aroma on the nose and minimal head retention from the bottle. Tastewise is quite low on late hopping but is substantially bitter at the end for a pale ale. Strong taste of roasted malt as well. Mouthfeel its pretty thin and dry with moderate carbonation. Not really that bad but not my kind of beer.

My hubby too discovered this beer a couple of years ago. And he thinks it is the best.
A little hard to come by here in Australia. But when he sees it, he buys a couple of cases.
Nice story behind it too. The beer not my hubby.LOL

This is one of the finest ales anywhere in the world (in my humble opinion). Although I'm an expat I am fortunate enough to be able to get this locally.

hi sally, thanks for dropping by. Australia has got some pretty excellent beer and I personally like the brews from Little Creatures and Grand Ridge Brewery. Plenty of resources for homebrewing too! I'd be happy if I was in Oz!

doug, good to know that you like this beer. Where are you at now? If you're in Singapore, you'd be able to get from here http://www.thebeerclub.com.sg/
