The Minnesota Vikings players and coaches boarded an overnight charter flight to London, escaping hometown frustration as they prepare for a "home game" overseas.
Monday morning, complaints lit up the lines at KFAN sports radio in St. Louis Park. Dan Cole, "The Common Man" consoled frustrated fans.
"Do you blame it on the offense, the defense, the special teams the coaching or all the above? The ownership? How much longer does this go on?" he said.
"The whole regime needs to be flipped upside down," replied a caller.
Luke Derheim, of Minneapolis, hopes to leave his frustration at home. He'll head to London this week with his football buddies to cheer on his team.
"Trying to spin the season around, it's brutal," said Derheim. "I think if they get away from all their fans and all the media a little bit, help clear their minds a little bit, and hopefully they can get something going because we need some help."
Derheim says he plans to attend rallies and pregrame festivities in London. Thousands of fans are expected to join him in the purple party.
"We think if there is one team we could beat in NFL right now it would be the Steelers, but they are also 0-3," he said. "Regardless, we will have some beers and a good time in London."
However, many callers at KFAN expressed a desire for a new coach, new quarterback and new beginning for the team. For now, they are left waiting to see if Sunday's game will either quiet or quell the growing frustrations.

Top 10 JUDolphins Moments of 2013-14: #7
Top 10 JUDolphins Moments of 2013-14: #7
A final round 66 by Jessica Welch – the best round in program history – sparked a come-from behind victory for the women's golf team at the Cincinnati Spring Invitational and gave the Dolphins their first tournament title since 2006-07.
For years, Jacksonville women's golf has been a sleeping giant in the Atlantic Sun. The new practice range and putting greens on campus just add to the advantages of a program that enjoys nearly year-round weather conducive to playing the game, as well as the access the program has to top courses in the area such as the TPC at Sawgrass. In her second year in charge of the team, Head Coach Jen Borocz may have unlocked some of that potential.
After a quiet fall season in which the team defeated North Florida head-to-head in the Hughes Cup but finished no higher than seventh in any event, the Dolphins began the spring by hosting a tournament at the Amelia National Golf Club. In the second round, rounds of 69 from Sabrina Rumbaugh and 70 from Jessica Welch lifted Jacksonville to a team score of three-under par 285, the lowest 18-hole score in program history. It was a glimpse at what the team could do, but what the Dolphins hadn't done up to that point was string together three solid rounds in a row.
That changed when the team traveled to Crystal River, Fla. for the Cincinnati Spring Invitational. There, Jacksonville joined 13 other teams at a three-day tournament that would follow the format the Dolphins would soon face at the Atlantic Sun Championship. Rather than golfing 36 holes in a single day before coming back for 18 holes the next, the tournament was spread out with the teams playing just 18 holes each day. It lifted the physical burden of playing consecutive rounds, but also allowed for shifts in weather conditions and took away the rhythm that it's possible to fall into when golfing rounds back-to-back.
After arriving on the Gulf Coast of Florida and getting a look at the course in the practice round, the JU team was confident in its outlook entering the first day.
"I knew that if we played well that we had a chance to win, but the course was very tight," said Borocz. "You had to hit the ball straight and really place it on a lot of holes."
The first round wouldn't go exactly according to plan. Welch and Natalie Schmett ended with the best two rounds of the day for the Dolphins, each shooting a 75. When the dust had settled, Jacksonville was tied with Seton Hall for third place with a score of 308. Two other Florida schools – Lynn (303) and Seminole State (306) – occupied the top two spots.
The second day is when Jacksonville began to assert itself. The Dolphins fired a 293 to pull into second place by themselves, eight strokes clear of Memphis in third place and only three shots back of Lynn. It was once again Welch who led the way for JU.
"The second day was kind of different because I had really, really good holes and really, really bad holes," said Welch. "I started out par, birdie, birdie, then I bogeyed the fourth hole and then I eagled the fifth hole with a pitching wedge from 100 yards out. I sort of went back and forth between some holes where I would birdie but then I'd give it back by not getting up and down or missing a short putt."
Despite those frustrations, the junior's round of 70 was the lowest of any individual in the field and pulled her into a three-way tie atop the individual standings at one-over par for the tournament. The solid day of play from all the Dolphins ensured that they would be paired with Lynn on Sunday. For Welch, that meant her last 18 holes would be against one of the two players she was tied with on the leaderboard.
Starting the final round on No. 1, Welch led off for the Dolphins, but her round didn't get off to the best start.
"I missed the first two greens and had to scramble, but I hit a good 8-iron on No. 3 to about 10 feet, only I left the putt short and that bothered me," said Welch. "So No. 4 was a short par-5 and I left myself a birdie putt of about the same distance and I made it, and that really got my confidence up on my putting stroke."
Beginning with the birdie on No. 4, Welch caught fire. She ended the front nine with a score of 32, four strokes under par at that point on her round and well in front of the two players she began the day tied with. With her top player cruising, Borocz was able to pick her spots to help out on the course.
"The strategy was just to be on the par-three holes as the girls came through," she said. "I was able to be there for each player to help with the yardage and to pick their club."
Things weren't just clicking for Welch; the other Dolphins were doing their part to overcome the deficit they had started the day with. Morgan Matchett shot an even-par 72. Schmett was on her way to a one-over 73. Rumbaugh ended her tournament with a three-over 75.
Welch continued her strong play on the back nine, carding a par on seven holes and birdieing the two par-fives coming in. By the time she was to No. 18, the question of whether she would win medalist honors had long since been settled. The only question was whether she would set a JU and personal record.
As a high schooler in Georgia, Welch had recorded a 66 in the state tournament on a par-71 course. Coming down the final hole, a par would give her a 66 on a par-72 track. A look for birdie just stayed out, but a tap-in par gave her a personal best score of six-under and broke the record she had set a year earlier when she fired a 67 in the opening round of the Atlantic Sun Championship. One key to her success started back with her work early on in the week.
"I was tweaking some things on my practice stroke with Coach Borocz during my practice round and it helped me make a lot more putts that weekend," Welch noted.
Her score combined with the solid contributions of her teammates – four players from the team ended the tournament in the Top 15 – gave Jacksonville a team score of 286 on that Sunday, distancing the Dolphins from Lynn, who managed a 296. The 54-hole total of 887 shattered JU's previous record of 894, and, more importantly, gave Jacksonville its first tournament title since the spring of 2007. Proving that the victory was no empty feat, Lynn later went on to win a second consecutive NCAA Division II national title.
The tournament win at the Cincinnati Spring Invitational was tangible evidence of what Borocz believes is being built here at Jacksonville. Three weeks later, the Dolphins would tie for fourth at the Atlantic Sun Championship, the highest finish by the program since 2005-06. All told, the 2013-14 team is responsible for five of the eight lowest rounds in school history.
"The cool thing about this team is that they rally around each other," said Borocz. "They'll constantly be seeing each other and talking to each other and cheering each other on."
Welch returns in the fall to begin her senior season and a young core plus two talented freshmen will be added to the mix, making Jacksonville one of the more dangerous teams in the Atlantic Sun next season. If the pieces fall into place like it seems they could, JU will be looking to add some more hardware to its trophy case very soon.
Check in every Monday and Thursday for the next three weeks as we continue to countdown Jacksonville's Top 10 moments of 2013-14!

activities and attractions in Tulum Yucatan
You enter into a vast and diverse culture in Quintana Roo, Mexico. IMMERSE yourself in the rich history of the Maya. Mayan ruins abound and many are within an easy drive from the Villa. Three important nearby ruins are Tulum, Coba, and Chichen Itza.
Tulum is exceptionally unique as it is located on the sea just 15 minutes from the Villa. Tulum ruins greatest attraction is its location. It stands on a bluff facing the rising sun looking out into the vastness of the Caribbean Sea, which is nothing less than spectacular. In Maya, "Tulum" means wall, and the city was christened thus because it is a walled city, one of the very few that the ancients ever built.
Coba is one of the most important archaeological sites in the area. Built between two lakes during the Classic Period (800-900 A.D.) it was at one time a very large city spread over 80 kilometers. The main pyramid, Nohoch Mul meaning "large hill" is 42 meters tall (138 feet) and is the highest in the Yucatan peninsula. Another pyramid, known as Templo de Iglesia, "Temple of the Church" is second in height at Coba.
One of the most important ruins in all of Mexico is Chichen Itza and it is an easy two-hour drive from the Villa. As the saying goes "all roads lead to Rome", in the Yucatan all roads lead to Chichen Itza. Straight limestone roads, which were a great feat of engineering, appear like spokes that link Chichen Itza to every major city in the Yucatan. Most experts agree that Chichen Itza was not just a great city, but the head of the empire that once covered the region.

Despite the shutdown of the federal government, and a few minor technical hiccups, Detroiters registered today for new health care plans made available by The Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare." The National Action Network aided in the registration process. Rev. Charles Williams oversees the Detroit chapter of the National Action Network which held the Affordable Care Act registration drive. "These are difficult times for people and employers aren't giving out the same kind of healthcare they used to give out," he tells Fox 2's Randy Wimbley. The government's health care website, healthcare.gov, had so much traffic during its launch today that it was unavailable for hours. Many determined Detroiters, however, pushed on and completed paper applications, eager to begin the path to regular checkups, and emergency room and urgent care coverage. But critics say the Affordable Care Act may not be so affordable. Some studies suggest the program will cost an average American family of four more than seven thousand dollars over the course of nine years. Another gripe is, because the online healthcare exchanges were offline today, those who registered by paper don't know exactly what they qualify for yet or what it will cost them. By pen or by keyboard, those wanting sign up for a new health care plan under the assistance of the National Action Network can still do so at the King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit until 8 p.m. Tuesday night.

A weekend melee on the Magnificent Mile and a separate attack on a CTA Red Line train ended with 25 juveniles and three adults charged Saturday.
It all happened as Chicago flirted with spring weather for the first time this year. But police officials emphasized on Sunday that there were no reported robberies, assaults or property damage as a result of what happened on Michigan Avenue.
SEE: 17 arrested after melee erupts on Mag Mile
Seventeen arrests were made after officers arrived near Chicago and Michigan about 6 p.m. Saturday to find "a number of kids fighting amongst themselves," Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said.
Marquell Hicks, 18, of the 3200 block of West Diversey, and Bobby K. Rhodes, 19, of the 1100 block of North Cambridge, were each charged with one count of misdemeanor reckless conduct, police said. So were 15 additional juveniles.
Meanwhile, police said Stephanie M. Hosch, 18, of the 1300 block of North Central, and 10 juveniles attacked a group of women aboard a CTA Red Line train about 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
SEE: Group of women attacked on CTA Red Line
Hosch and the juveniles were each charged with battery. Two juveniles also were charged with strong-arm robbery, police said.
The victims reported the robbery after they got off the train at the State and Monroe station, according to police.
The downtown area in recent years has endured a number of similar incidents, sometimes referred to as "wildings."
In June 2011, Mayor Rahm Emanuel vowed to increase the police presence downtown after several people were robbed in the same area by groups of teen males in a series of separate attacks.

Pressure to Share Passwords with Your Boyfriend or Girlfriend…Cool or Not Cool?
That's Not Cool marks Teen Dating Violence Prevention & Awareness Month with a new video that lets teens have their say about abuse in relationships!
That's Not Cool marks Teen Dating Violence Prevention & Awareness Month with a new video that lets teens have their say about abuse in relationships!
How would you feel about getting pressured to share your online passwords with someone you're dating?
This question is posed in the latest video to be released by the That's Not Cool campaign as part of their speaking avatar application. Launched in July 2011, the speaking avatar tool encourages teens to have their say when it comes to pressure and control in their relationships. After watching an animated prompt video addressing digital dating abuse on the homepage, users create a personalized character and voice to respond to the question posed in the video. Each unique video entry can be posted and shared on www.thatsnotcool.com.
The newest prompt video will be released on February 15, 2012 to coincide with National Teen Dating Violence Prevention & Awareness Month, and will ask users to respond to the question: "Sharing passwords with your boyfriend or girlfriend…Cool or not cool?" The video offers an opportunity for the campaign to represent a diversity of youth relationships as it features a lesbian couple.
"The avatar tool is a personal and fun way for teens to engage in this important issue and talk about what is and isn't cool in their relationships," said Futures Without Violence Director of Public Education Campaigns & Programs Brian O'Connor. "We're particularly excited to be featuring a same-sex couple in the newest prompt video because we know that any teen can experience digital dating abuse, regardless of sexual orientation and other markers like, race or class."
That's Not Cool was developed by Futures Without Violence, formerly Family Violence Prevention Fund, in partnership with the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women and the Advertising Council. The That's Not Cool campaign is an award winning national public education initiative that educates youth about healthy relationships, encourages them to draw their own digital line, and helps young people recognize, avoid, and prevent dating violence in their lives.
Since That's Not Cool launched in 2009, the website has been viewed more than 1,200,000 times. The initiative also has more than 60,000 "likes" on Facebook.
A 2008 National Council on Crime & Delinquency focus found that one in three adolescent girls in the United States is a victim of physical, emotional, or verbal abuse from a dating partner – a figure that far exceeds victimization rates for other types of violence affecting youth. Experiencing teen dating violence can set the stage for domestic violence that continues into one's adult years.

"Johnston County is extremely fortunate to have Johnston Community College"More than 30 years ago, I earned my associate's degree in accounting from Johnston Community College. Today, I'm president and chief executive officer of KS Bank, a full-service community bank headquartered in Smithfield.
Since its establishment in 1969, JCC has offered hope for success for people with limited opportunities. JCC is affordable, convenient, and provided me the business knowledge I needed to succeed in the banking industry.
Through its degree programs and continuing education courses, JCC offers exceptional training opportunities for many of my employees at KS Bank. The knowledge they gain through the College fosters personal and professional growth. JCC is also an outstanding community partner with KS Bank and with many other businesses and industries in Johnston County.
Any community benefits by having a college in their community. Certainly, Johnston County is extremely fortunate to have Johnston Community College.
I'm Harold Keen and I'm a 1976 graduate of Johnston Community College.

Last night in Cleveland, Ohio the inaugural Alternative Press Music Awards paved the way for the future of alternative music. There were monstrous performances from upcoming bands such as Twenty One Pilots, Alternative hotshots All Time Low & A Day To Remember, and rock legends like Slash(yes, from Guns N' Roses), Joan Jett, and The Misfits. An event like this only has room to grow, meaning that with each year this event will help spotlight this scene and help bring many of its talented bands into mainstream attention(if that is the goal). Just because a band doesn't make it to the Grammys doesn't mean that its not deserving of awards and attention. The awards were voted on by fans and here are the results along with the performances:

Well, there you have it! Overall, it was a great music awards show and a promise of something truly great in the years to come. After a few audio/sound engineering problems are fixed, online streaming becomes avaiable and a more accessible channel provides this awards show; then, this will certainly become one powerhouse of an awards show.
Written by: Intern Zach McEntire (Twitter:@McEntireZach)
If you caught the This Is Gospel tour with Panic! At The Disco in Salt Lake, you probably heard Magic Man for the first time as one of the openers. This five-piece band from Boston sat down with Richie before their first show on the tour and after their pre-show workout. (Seriously though, Justine on synths/keys was leading the guys through a series of push-ups and jumping jacks while we set up. The guys gave up.) Learn about the forming of the band, their Fox Den, and the most surreal moment of being in the band in Richie T's latest interview for Meet The Bands.
Check out the entire interview HERE
Here's a clip from the interview:
— The Fox Den —
Alex: To be fair, an important part of the songwriting phase was first nesting and building our little home studio and making sure that it was a very comfortable and inspiring place. So we spent the first couple months just collecting all sorts of weird things; we called it the fox den. We had taxidermy foxes and…
Justine: If you know where the foxes are now, please call Alex Caplow, they are missing. Not joking. They're gone.
Alex: Someone stole them, I think someone threw a crazy party when we weren't there and walked off with the foxes.
Daymnnnnn, Weezer will be dropping their 10th studio album on September 30th called, "Everything Will Be Alright." We have been the victims of teasing the third time Rick Ocasek from The Cars has entered the studio with the boys from Weezer and it has always produced some of the finest Weezer - The Green and Blue albums.
Today they released, "Back to the Shack." Riff heavy and a slight anthemy, it's great sing along Weezer and a self-proclaimed throwback. I am not sure this is a good thing, though. What 90s band has really mad a huge splash recently by pointing out how good things used to be. The crop has not been on fire as of late. Coldplay's album is a dullard's delight. Jane's Addiction gives it a shot once in a while to no one's amusement. NIN's last one tanked though most people really wanted to like it (NIN is probably just a great live band at this point). Les Claypool's stuff falls into the same category. Scott Weiland, well, he put out that Christmas album - something more akin to a Vegas act than Rock N' Roller.
Weezer, aside from Pinkerton, has always been somewhat light and fun and you know a Weezer song when you hear it, but declaring self-awareness ane reminiscing of days gone by may not be the way to put your best foot forward.
I am going to reserve judgment until I hear the entire album. I always want Weezer to be champions.
Tonight, at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame And Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, music history will be made as the first ever Alternative Press Music Awards will be presented to the world. Nothing this prestigous or grandiose has been attempted in this scene or genre of music. The event will go on at 8pm ET(6pm our time). You can watch it on AXSTV(channel #340 on DirectTV and #167 on Dish Network, sorry Comcast/Xfinity customers we'll give you the recap tomorrow). Here are the awards and what to expect:

Moz fans unite! Morrissey will release his 10th solo album on July 15th, but as the future refuses to allow things to be released on their actual date you can stream the new album early over at NPR.
Of course, Morrissey played Kingsbury Hall just a couple of months ago after making up for a cancelled date the previous year due to illness: his or his mother's depending on the source you talked to. He didn't play too many Smith's songs, which seemed to bother my buddy who had never seen Morrissey before, but felt he had seen a landmark rather than just show so he wasn't too disappointed.
Enjoy the stream.

Imagine soft green mounds, rolling hills, wispy clouds, the gentle caress of the sun on your cheek, the sound of chirping birds and the nee-yow of golf carts in the distance.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Studies show 80% of people with asthma also have allergies, so if you better control your allergies, you may be able to avoid asthma. But scientists are learning allergies are just one cause of this complex disease.Recently, 10-year-old Jackson Kelly took an important test - a breathing test or spirometry, which reveals how well his lungs are functioning.Jackson plays football for the Maryville Elite and recently started complaining of shortness of breath and coughing during games."I feel really weird and I can't really breathe," Jackson said."It's a concern to us, so we wanted to bring him in and have him checked out, make sure it wasn't something serious," said Jackson's father, Jasper.Turns out, it's not serious, but worth keeping track of. Jackson has asthma-like symptoms, but because he did so well on his breathing test, staff members at the Allergy, Asthma & Sinus Center encouraged him to let them know when he has trouble.Even his allergist Dr. Karthik Krishnan threw a little fun into Jackson's checkup by seeing how he does when just playing around with the football.Jackson is fortunate.Dr. Krishnan said others who have full blown asthma often can't get relief from available treatment."It's very frustrating because we're using the latest, greatest medicines we have available and they still have problems," said Dr. Krishnan.That frustration has led researchers to study asthma at the cellular level, finding there are multiple and different causes of the disease.One of the dilemmas: diagnosing which type of asthma a person has as quickly as possible."Once we can do that, that'll really help us out," Dr. Krishnan said.Dr. Krishnan said within the next few years, look for more than a breathing test, something like a blood test to show the doctor just what kind of asthma a patient is dealing with and tailor the treatment accordingly.

The aerial assault to stop the mosquitoes that spread West Nile virus is almost ready to take off.
Addison, Highland Park, University Park, Garland and Mesquite have signed on to Dallas County's plan to spray insecticide from the skies. Dallas will decide on Wednesday.
While some have raised safety concerns about the spraying, a Garland man whose mother is in the hospital pleaded for help Tuesday night.
"It's extremely heartbreaking, and it's very, very hard," he said.
Dallas County remains the epicenter of the West Nile epidemic, with 10 lives lost, spread out across the county — in North Dallas, Uptown Dallas, Irving, the Park Cities, Grand Prairie, Duncanville, and Seagoville.
Tarrant County has now recorded two deaths and 171 human cases linked to West Nile, and Fort Worth will start its first ground spraying program in two decades on Wednesday night after first focusing on prevention.
Fort Worth began reverse 911 calls to citizens on Tuesday, encouraging people to take precautions.

MARLA PISCIOTTA For The State Journal
ROMNEY — A Thrasher Engineering rendering of a master plan for the future of Romney Business Park was unveiled during Hampshire County Development Authority's meeting last month.
The $22 million vision encompasses a train depot, a 70,000-square-foot shopping village, a scenic overlook, walking trail and a zip line, parking and recreational areas and improvements to sidewalks and roads.
Initial construction would focus on the rail spur, which is estimated to cost $4.5 million.
Included in the master plan is a train station-village, which is a shell space for outside investors. The construction cost is estimated at $9.5 million for the facility.
Other groups have expressed an interest in being part of the park as well. One Romney group is interested in building a pavilion complete with picnic table along Route 28 that would overlook the park. Another entity would like to see an amphitheater constructed.
Rick Harshbarger, chief executive officer of the Potomac Center, said the center has a natural, ready-made bowl below the center, which is perfect for concerts.
"I have always envisioned doing something there some day," said Harshbarger.
"An amphitheater would benefit the center and Hampshire County if appropriate funding could be secured. I am interested in the planning process to see where it leads."
The authority is seeking funding from the West Virginia Railroad and Intermodal Enhancement Authority.
The fund was created in 2008 by the Legislature, which set-aside $4 million annually for the sole purpose of funding construction, reconstruction, and renovation and or relocation of rail spurs to connect them to greater forms of transportation, according to Doug York, executive director of the West Virginia Port Authority.
The rail project has York's support. It also has the support of Cindy Butler, director of the West Virginia State Rail Authority.
York said he, Butler and West Virginia Department of Transportation secretary Paul Maddox met and discussed the Romney project.
Application for funds will be under review this month.

Where do I vote and when do the polls close?
Original post made by Laura on May 19, 2009
on May 19, 2009 at 5:02 pm
The polls close at 8PM. As far as polling place, it should say on the back of your sample ballot, if you got one (same for the June 2nd ballot, so look on either).
If you can't find it, then go to this website Web Link
and type in your street address/zipcode on the right hand side. It is accurate, I already voted and it listed the correct place. I previously voted at a school, this time it was a house/garage.
I'd prefer you'd vote No on all measures, but glad to know you are voting! :) Hope I helped you...
on May 19, 2009 at 6:10 pm
You got your wish.

2.8/5 rDev -17.9%
Pours a copper colour - one finger head comes and goes almost immediatley
Aromas of earthy English malts, toffee and caramel.
Taste is bitter but almost unpleasantly so. Malts balance to a degree but this is not an easy drinking beer.
Carbonation a bit zippy, probably not to stlye.
Hmm - mostly 3s across the board tells it's own story, average beer.... I'm waiting for something to happen as it warms... and still waiting....
No visible BB on bottle - from Warners. Suspect not fresh enough...

4.03/5 rDev +18.2%
A very very competent Burton-on-Trent lookalike. Stacks of gypsium, smokey stone, talcium powder. Lots of character yet so subtle. Massively drinkable and very enjoyable. Could be misplaced as an English bitter and close the best of its kind in Australia.

3.35/5 rDev -1.8%
Generally clear, bronze colour with a small, shortlasted, light tan head.
Mild toffee aroma with a touch of nuts. Lightly metallic and slightly oxidised.
Smooth, fruity and malty with plenty of toffee like malt notes. There's a bit of sweet diacetyl.
Medium-light body with moderately-high carbonation. Too crisp.
A nice, simple English ale with some fruity esters and toffee malt notes. Nothing complex or overdone.
04-13-2011 11:38:31 | More by dgilks
3.3/5 rDev -3.2%
Purchased from Beer Cartel in Artarmon.
Pours a rather dark red-brown colour--too red, at least, to be bronze--with a large a bulbous, heavily-carbonated head of off-white. Bubbles are too big for the style, and the body is light. I like the colour, but I can't say I'm much enamoured of the appearance otherwise.
Nose is pleasantly balanced between sweet and roast, giving a classic blend of refined but rustic English characters. Sweet honey and molasses come through, with a depth suggesting dark grainy bread and roast beef. It doesn't develop a lot, but it's very pleasant.
Taste is smooth, and pleasantly balanced. Some dark grain notes meld nicely with the residual sweetness, although the sweetness continues for too long onto the back. A bigger grain character, or some nuttiness would really help on the back palate. Feel is light and tepid, a disappointing attribute in this style.
3 Ravens have done some good things, and done them well. But this beer doesn't shine the friendliest of lights upon them. It's a mediocre style done in a pretty mediocre fashion. It probably matches it with, say, James Squire Amber Ale, but you're not getting anything more exciting than that from this one.

3.6/5 rDev +5.6%
Pours a good - yes, bronze - colour, nice earthy red overtones on an otherwise brown body. Head is cream-coloured, nice froth up when poured but sinks to a thin crown after a short while. Steady carbonation all through the body keeps what's left alive, while some spots of lace around serve as a monument to what was there. How depressing.
Smell is quite grainy and earthy. A lot of fresh milled grain blend with grassy hop notes and a touch of a metallic aroma. Some dry cocoa powder notes at the back add a rich texture to the underlying maltiness. Overall a pretty mild, pleasant smell.
Taste is also very mild, but a good balance is my first impression. Starts quite grainy, slight dessicated texture from the carbonation and has a slight oatmeal flavour with a touch of lemon zest on the mid. Finish is uneventful, but in a good way. It's long, with no spike from the mid-palate onwards. It just continues on with slight citric and grassy hop bitterness being clean and dry and slightly mild. Very slight sweet grain note at the very end, and a touch of soapy flavour late-mid. Otherwise a smooth and well-balanced ale.
It's long been established that 3 Ravens do balance and mild well. I'd really love to see them attack something truly nutty and crazy, but it's nice to see smooth, sessionable ales like this out there as well.

2.93/5 rDev -14.1%
Pours into a Guinness pint a lovely, slightly cloudy bronze with a thin white head that disperses almost immediately and leaves the odd patch of lacing.
Not a real interesting aroma - biscuity malt and a barely noticeable noble hop character. Bland. Lightly minerally.
Toffee malt and politely English citric hop flavors (think supermarket marmalade rather than grapefruit pith) at the start and... that's about it. Nice while it lasts. Baking soda kind of thing in the finish (Burton salts perhaps?). Mildly annoying and hurts drinkability.
Mouthfeel is just a step above watery. Sessionable, but I don't think I'd really want to. Their stout is the only beer of theirs I've dug so far, but I hear the Uber Special Bitter is pretty great. More of those, less of this.

3.58/5 rDev +5%
Bottle-conditioned, cloudy amber/brown with a tight, dense head. Looks good. Not getting much off the nose. Bit of pine...bit of toffee but not much. Very good mouth-filling bitterness on the palate. Nice touch of caramel malt at the back. Slightly concerning soapiness in there but not enough to detract too much. Pretty decent beer.
08-12-2009 09:09:12 | More by juju7
4.05/5 rDev +18.8%
Hazy copper pour with a somewhat persistent small head.
Aroma is quite green, piney, earthy and hoppy. Definitely English. Biscuity malt underneath.
Flavours are completely malt-dominated. There's the slightest hint of resiny hops, but otherwise the sweet crystal and nutty/cookie dough malt dominated. Simple, yet so delicious! Restrained bitterness makes for incredibly easy drinking.
Good creamy mouthfeel.
Wasn't expecting anything this good. This beer isn't exactly the best example of the style, but it is damn satisfying.

4.18/5 rDev +22.6%
Appearance - Huge head, amber, very good retention.
Smell - Very strong for the style, with a caramel and malt character.
Taste - Very sweet and malty, not much hops, but still amazingly well balanced.
Mouthfeel - Low carbonation, fairly smooth, a little sticky.
Drinkability - While the low strength is a little disappointing, it does make it very drinkable.
Overall - A very pleasant surprise for me. Simply an excellent beer.

Pours a glorious domed beige head that peaks a good three fingers above the top of the liquid. Hazy amber in colour with lots of small suspended particles.
Smell - 3.5
Soft and pleasant, ripe fruit and vanilla toffee.
Taste - 3.5
Quite yeasty in a Coopers sort of way, with strong fruity esters that suggest the beer is past expiry (no evidence on the bottle). Soft fruit suggests of apple and pear, toffeeish malt and metallic hops. In the end yeastiness is too much and lets the beer down.
Mouthfeel - 3.0
Fine, lively, approaching creamy carbonation is atypical to the style.
Drinkability - 2.5
The English Pale Ale is a great session beer style, but I would not describe this as a sessionable beer.
Flawed, but overall not a bad beer. Tasty and worth trying, but definitely more of an Australian Pale Ale, despite its claim to be an EPA. I'd say this is more like Coopers Sparkling Ale than anything else I've tried before.

This pours amber coloured with a good sized head that is persistent.
The nose is fruity and this continues to the palate. A mouthfull of flavours dominated by a nice blast of hops.
A slight bitterness gives a edge to the mouthfeel.
Still... nothing exciting.

This beer tasted a little like unfermented wort. Presented ok in the glass, but the taste, smell and mouthfeel were all non existent - starchy if an anything. There was something wrong with this beer. Im sure its normally better (I hope).
Sorry for the harsh review but something was seriously a miss here. It was poured out.

Somewhat flat and headless beer .
The small and flavour seemed to be dominated by the Fuggles hops which just seemed a little harsh to me.The malts were very much in the background and didnt balance out the overall harshness of the ale.
It had a pleasant mouthfeel and whilst it seemed to be a bit crude it is still an enjoyable beer.
Drink with matured chedar cheese and pickled onions

This pours a bronze colour (funny that) with a mid-sized head that falls away quite quickly.
The smell wasn't domiated by anything in particular. Just a nice balance of maltiness and hoppiness that seems to be true to style & in line with the bottle blurb.
The taste was similar to to smell with some buttery notes present
Mouthfeel was a bit lackluster for my personal taste. A bit more maltiness to give it a fuller mouthfeel would be good.
A drinkable beer that as I've already said seems pretty true to style. I think I'd drink their blond over this as a session beer.
Overall another decent beer from a true micro.
On a side note I've also had this on cask at Lambsgo and it seemed a lot better. I'll be going there soon to compare.

ive been waiting a looong time for the bronze one to appear, and at the beer awards on friday night, there it was. boy oh boy did i hit it hard. the wait was worth it all the way. came as advertised, which only impressed me more. there is some room for improvement, but as it is now, with the first barrels out there for consumption, its a winner.
as you'd expect, a bronze color, that was a little cloudy, not alot of fizz, but has a good thick white head. smell was marvellous. sweet biscuits, nuts, hints of malt, and some very spritzy fuggles hops all coming to the party. the taste was smooth and sweet, great malt presence, splashes of dried fruit and nuts and a slightly buttery tone, and a great floral hop flavor. lacked a little bitterness on the back palate, but not by much. still fairly dry and hoppy, but does need just a little bit more.
totally awesome first up effort with this brew. im looking forward to seeing it evolve even further as time goes on. as i said, needs a touch more hops (maybe a blast of kent goldings or bullet in there as well?) but as it stands now, im still a believer!
