Brown with an off white head. Aroma is Light coffee, roasty, caramel. Taste is lightly nutty, light coffee, light roastiness. Good example of a mild, would be a treat to have this on cask.

Draught at the brewpub. Dark brown with a light beige head. Light aroma of lightly roasted malts and a bit of toffee. The flavor has a light roast, some toasty malt and just a hint of balancing hops. The mouthfeel is light with medium carbonation. There are some decent malty flavors with a nice mild roast, but this is just a bit too thin to really enjoy. I’ll give it some leeway considering what they are going for in such a light beer, but I have had English beers around this strength that sported a good deal more mouthfeel.

Not much flavor present. Really dark, almost brown - which is surprising for a lighter, lower alcohol beer. Thin mouthfeel, high carbonation - my least favorite beer they served me.
