I'm not which would qualify as an ale, but I like drinking Boulevard unfiltered wheat, Shiner Bock, a lot of beers done by Bells. I don't have too many recommendations.

Thanks for the comments.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Dustin,<BR/><BR/>What do you think of the oldest one? Not bad, I thought. <BR/><BR/>English ales... hah! I'm impressed.

I tried the 2004 shuixian and I liked it much more than you did. Although, I agree it's a bit simple. <BR/><BR/>On a separate note, I recently started drinking ale.

I remember finding this particular tea initially very strong, unpleasantly so, only later to discover that it is perhaps better when steeped to yield a lighter brew. <BR/><BR/>Though I'm not so sure the hue of the leaf is suggestive of lower fermentation level, as such, I think it is just made with better material and fermented more carefully.
