Commercial Description:
As a counterpoint to the Gold, our Pale Ale is distinctly British in character with a firm malt character and a crisp, angular hop finish. Amber in color with a nice earthy aroma.

On tap at an Inner Harbor, Baltimore restaurant. Very moderately hopped, quite English, some orange notes on a mostly caramel base, malty. Smooth, moderately oily but not heavily carbonated. Easy drinking, somewhat thin beer, went well with my seared tuna sandwich.

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one. Pours deep copper with a decent sized off-white head. Aroma of citrus, sweet malts, and hops. Flavor is sweet up-front, citrusy hops, and a little thin and weak. Decent brew, drinkable.

From a 12 oz. long neck brown bottle with a notched best before date along the left side of label, Jun/06. Made a good appearance, poured a clear new penny copper with a foamy white head that settled into a thin lacing, minimal amount of sticking, good carbonation. Had a British hops nose, lemon fruity and earthy with a touch of cedar backed by a sweet pale maltiness. A crisp, dry and smooth light bodied mouthfeel, good drinkability. British hops tasting, lemony, earthy and a cedar resiny, a nice sharp bitterness with a slight tongue numbing, a sweet maltiness, a bit sugary and a dry hoppy and sweet malty finish. This was better than what I expecting, a nice golding and fuggle hoppiness, could use a little more of a malt backbone.

Poured with a nice head that lasted for most of the drink with sustained lacing. The color was brownish gold. The aroma was hoppy and very typical of an average American pale ale. Not bad, but not great. Just average for its style, which are a dime a dozen.

Clear amber with an average off-white head. Hops, malt, honey, straw in the aroma. Weak and watery in the mouth. The flavor was lacking any depth or complexity. Very mediocre.

Pours a nice orangish color. Aroma is floral hops and sweet malts. Flavor of caramel, and hops, could use some more hops at the finish.

Bottle. Pretty standard pale ale. Mild aroma with citrus and hops. Slightly sweet flavor with a malty taste.

Pours a clear, light amber color with thin white head. Aroma is of slight citrus and other fruit, hops, and sweet malts. Flavor starts off malty, with some earthy taste, and finishes sweeter then I expected. Not much as far as hops go on the taste. A little dissapointed after the aroma on this one.
