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.

Pours a clear copper with moderate carbonation. Medium white head, good retention, lacing. Aroma is wet, tangy hops, light citrus, mild sweetness. Almost vinous. Taste is a nice mild caramel with light spices. Spicy hop presence. Body is light with just a slight oiliness. Finishes with light bitterness. A fun, approachable beer.

very enjoyable with the flowery hop nose leading to a fruity start immediately mellowing into a smooth, if hoppy, english ale. a drinker.

Great aroma and hops flavor. Has a smooth sweet finish and tastes better than a lot of IPAs I’ve had. This is a great beer.

12 ounce bottle, the aroma is very, very hoppy. It smells tasty. It’s a dark golden color with a nice off white head. The taste is grassy hops with some underlying malt but not very much. Kind of sweet finish, Good aftertaste. I’m not sure what English Strong Ales are but this tastes a lot like an IPA to me

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%.
