Bottle: Poured a light brown beer with a medium head. Carbonation is on the weak side. Aroma is a nice enough mix of malt. Taste is very classic English ale and ends with some medium bitterness. Easy drinking beer, however, it is boring and uninspiring ale. Wish there was more there.

Got it on draught at Carson’s American Bistro in Ann Arbor, MI. Poured a dark, hazy copper and had a nice aroma of hops. It felt medium-bodied in the mouth and the hops were pretty apparent in the taste, but not overwhelming. This is a very drinkable pale. It’s very flavorful without being too strong to have a few.

(Sep 27, 2005) Bottle. Pours a nice amber colour. Gushing, probably due to poor malt. Aroma vinous and slightly sour. Perfumy, soapy, flowery hops. Minerally and fruity. Plum and apricot jam. Medium body with a mineral dryness. Medium bitterness. Sugary and slightly caramelly. Alcohol apparent. Classic Pale Ale.

I was hoping for something more bitter. Hadn’t had for a long time and I remember a more bitter beer. It is a smooth beer and cooper in color

Now this is a good everyday type of brew. Beautiful copper with pillowy white head, this beer has a moderate amount of both malt and hops (nothing overbearing) that play nicely on the palate. The alcohol content is low enough to drink a few and high enough to let you know it. Cheers!!!

Pours a copper color with a medium white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Malty floral aroma. Smooth, fairly malty, almost sweet taste, with a light hop twist. I’d like to pair this with a BLT sandwich on sourdough toast and tomato bisque soup.

Bottle pours a rich amber color with a decent sized tan head. Aroma of sweetness, malt, and hops. Good flavor with a nice mix of rich malts and hop bitterness.
