Commercial Description:
A perfect initiation to our range of "real ales," this is truly an imperial product. We employ a hint of crystal malt accentuated by Willamette and Fuggle hops, producing a light, slightly fruity and delightfully aromatic beer.

Mild butterscotch underlies the caramel malt and floral hops in the nose. Clear dark golden body is topped by a light off white, fine bubbled head that recedes to a thin cover. Chewy caramel up front with some fruity esters and a touch of butterscotch joined by a decent balancing bitterness and floral hop notes. Toasted malts emerge in the aftertaste. Butterscotch becomes stronger as it warms. Medium body with moderate carbonation and somewhat slick texture. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle purchased at Brewery Creek in Apr-09.

Draught at the brewpub
Golden color, nice lace. Very light caramel aroma. It has a smooth caramel flavor and a correct bitterness, but too little interest, for example the hops barely find their way through. Undaring.

on tap-pours a thin off white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is grain/medium malt funky/barnyard, yeast? Taste is grain/medium malt, secondary/faint flat hops (Kent Golding and Fuggles, then read description which confirmed) OK/mild carbonation.

Light hop aroma. Pours a golden yellow with thin head. Not hoppy enough in my mind for an american pale. Still not too bad though

Sample at the pub. Light gold. Thin head. Thin aroma. Flavour is a bit soapy. A quiet beer. Hops build through the small glass and are stronger than the aroma led me to believe. Nice enough.

Draught sample at Swans Hotel. Mild honey aroma and light malt. Very little hops present. Dull gold clear with light haze, topped with thin foamy lacing off-white head. Medium body with medium-high carbonation. Nice light pale ale, with mild malt sweetness and bit of grain followed by mild hoppy bitter finish. Fairly clean after with a little beany hop character.
