If you want a pale ale come to America. This is a well tasting pale ale but lacks in carbonation. Seems like everytime I get a sixer they are flat. i guess thats how they like it across the pond.

Pours absolutely clear, amber-colored, and with a small white head. Aroma of metal and caramel malts. Enters and exits fairly clean but without much in between. The butter is well-integrated. Balanced flavors, malt and hops mingle but without much complexity. Easy to find, easy to drink. I’m sure at one time this brew really shone, and I’m sure a pure cask version would be great.

Bottle, 5.1%, made in Britain. Semi-sweet, caramelly aroma. Clear amber colour. Fizzy, frothy head. The flavour is caramelly with some bitterness, rough at first, but turns more pleasant. Gets a little sour towards the finish.

35,5 cL bottle. Pours deep orange and clear with a light brown and diminishing head. Sweet and roasted malt and slight citric aroma. Flavour is soft malty, roasted to a bit of toffee, in addition it has a slight acidic/citric twist. Ends dry and bitter - very classic English.

Draft. Aroma of some creamy malt, fruit, and floral hops. The flavor is very similar, generally sweet and fruity, creamy mouthfeel and a slightly dry finish. It’s a decent ale that you can find on tap at many less-than-fine establishments.

Bottle. Pours a deep orange w/ medium white head. Smells of caramel and hops, tastes similar. Finishes with caramel and coffee notes. My absolute favorite

Nice deep orange in color. A nice tan head. A good session beer. not to hoppy, malty, or alcholic.

Pours a nice caramel orange, not too much going on in the aroma, there’s an interesting nutty character to bass which seems somewhat unique to it. Medicinal bitterness creeps in in the finish. Palatable.
