Commercial Description:
Introducing Cold Hop British-style ale, a unique ale with a rich golden hue, and the 7th release in our Looking Glass Series of specialty beers. Cold Hop's pleasantly fruity, floral hop aroma and earthy flavor perfectly balance the mild sweetness of the English grains, resulting in a refreshing yet high-gravity British-Style ale.

Don’t see how this is a "British style ale". Its tatses exactly like an American style IPA, and not a good one - very sticky for a mere 6.5%.

Copper-colored pour with an slight orange hue. 1/2-inch off-white head that laced the inside of the glass. Citrus, grassiness, and pine on the nose. Palate is right down the middle...refreshing. Citrus on the forefront, malt sweetness and somewhat tea-like. Good beer and great price.

12oz bottle. Pours clear amber in color with thin white head. Aroma sweet and citrus hops. Taste citrus hops and spicey with bitter finish.

12 oz. bottle from Wine Warehouse. Amber pour with a medium head and good lacing. Very spicy and leafy hop aroma with a slight sweetness. Bitter leafy hop taste with a caramel and grain finish. Slightly off balanced.

12oz. Meh, if there ever was a good effort but ultimately disjointed brew, this is it. A pretty pour of deep golden slightly hazy goodness topped but a fleeting white head. Nose had me do a doubletake, I kept getting steamed broccoli. After tasting, I kept getting the same kind of malt/grain/hop combo that kept making me think steamed broccoli. Maybe this kind of ruined it for me, has the body and components of a worthwhile brew I’m just not digging what it tastes like.

As the great reviewer Randy Jackson said "I’m not feelin it dawg." Had no head, had little aroma, and the taste was of lemon and grains. Not sure if I got an off bottle, but as it stands, I’d pass on the next one.

Hazy dark orange-burnt sienna with rich creamy beige head and particulates in the glass. Smells like cold rocks after a rainstorm. Orchard fruits--ripe apple and pear. Flowers. Smells very American. Great silky palate, quaffable. Mellow, smooth, nice hop but not a lot of Brit references in the malt or hop. Malts are slightly metallic and apple-like. Hops are well-integrated. Not as English as it professes to be but refreshing and good.
