Bottle; thought I had previously rated it, so I didn’t note anything about the color. Aroma of toffee and flowers. Flavor was spot on for the style. Very recognizable as an English pale. Good toffee and caramel flavor with some woody vanilla. Good crispness and slight sweetness. Hops were mainly grassy and floral. REally good for the style.

This was surprisingly good and surpsiginly English in overall character. It’s copper with a medium, light tan head, steadily shrinking to a thin, permanent top with only weak hints of lace. The aroma is flowery and a bit earthy with prominent breadcrust, as well as hints of caramel and grapefruit. The taste is mild caramelly malt, bread, mild lightly grapefruity citrus, hints of pine, leaves, and earth, and a light fruitiness. It’s a bit mild and some of the specific flavours are not my real preference, being a little more grapefruity than I ideally prefer. However, it has definite English qualities as well and is well balanced in flavours and in sweetness-bitterness, with both lasting. It also goes well with food and is easy to drink.

Poured a clear amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma was slightly hoppy with some interesting malt aromas. Taste was very sweet. The malts are the highlight in this one. Finish was nice and hoppy.

Poured from 12oz bottle an amber color with medium sized off-white head. Aroma is light with caramel and malt. Flavor is full with a small amount of roast grain, malt and caramel that has a mild sweetness and crisp but mild bittering finish. I found this beer exceptionally easy to drink and smooth. Good flavor and one I’ll come back to regularly.

Not bad. Pours a deep amber with a sweet, slightly hoppy aroma. Taste is almost all hops, with caramel undertones and a big hop finish. Defnitiey worth a buy.

Amber color with sweet hop nose. Sweet caramel and malty flavor with a crisp hoppy finish. Smooth and sweet but very refreshing.

12 oz bottle Poured a clear orange color w/a slight off white head. Decent hop aroma. Some up front flavor of hops, than taken over by a moderate roasted malt flavor w/traces of caramel. Decent mouthfeel w/a bitter finish. Solid, easy drinking brew, quite enjoyable.
