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.

Copper colour. Woody, slighlty piney hops meet toasty, breadcrusty malts in the nose. Light bitterness with a juicy malt character. Leans towards woodiness.

Clear amber with medium tan head. Aroma is grapefruit, some sweetness. Taste is pretty minimal up front, before the grapefruit shows up mid-taste. Finishes mildly bitter and leaves a mildly acidic grapefruit aftertaste. Slightly watery.

Pours a golden bronze with a thin white head. Aroma is very subtle with a touch of English hops. Body is bittersweet, but mild and smooth. Not necessarily watery or thin, but very bland and uninteresting. Could definitely use more hops to be considered an APA in my book.

Crystal clear, amber/deep golden ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. The nose is of honey, citrus fruit peels and juniper. Well-balanced flavor... malty, but perfectly hopped. Notes of caramel and English toffee. Lengthy, astringent finish.
