Taste7/8. Amber with thick white head. Fresh hops, sticky mild roast malt. Caramel. Taste: Mild American Pale Ale. Lots of aroma. Quality session ale.( for a light weight.) Cuts through deluxe pizza like a slicer. Great taste for such low abv.. Quality brew. Hard to do with such low abv.

bottle. Aroma of sweet malts and hops. Very pale brown typical of a bitter with some head. Flavor of hops and some malts are present...people at the tasting were saying it was skunked but I think it may have been too hoppy for the other people at the table. Very smooth finish.

Pours a medium amber with a moderate head. Nice and dry with a hoppy, but not overly hoppy flavor. Very drinkable.

Smokey malt stale ashtray aroma. Clear amber colour with fair head and lacing. Bitter malt hop flavour. Flat palate. Not something I would ask for again.
