Golden-amber colour. Slightly herbal aroma with caramel, earth, wood undertones. Fairly uneventful, slightly metallic character. Vaguely caramelly taste. The body is somewhat light and there is hardly any bitterness. The thing with assuming a pale ale is British by virtue of it having no hops is that the end result tastes nothing like a British ale, just like a lame American one.

Clear amber body with medium beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, earthy/floral, peach. Taste is medium sweet, floral, caramel, some orange, peach, light earthy. Light-medium body. A bit too sweet, but decent nonetheless.

Sampler at the Boulder Beer Company, Boulder 10/10/2007 Pale malt aroma. Golden coloured smooth on the palate and malty with some dryness and bitterness in the finish.
