Doesn’t taste anything like an english pale ale should, but don’t rate it like that. Overall it was quite tasty.

Rather bitter Amber Ale. I had this out of a bottle and was not really impressed. It had some hops flavor and acrid aftertaste. Other than that I really did not find much that warrants calling this an Amber, malt was especially weak. It was more Lager-ish than anything.

Not bad overall, goes down smooth and easy, but was lacking in the hops department which I had come to expect of ales.

Sweet, no sense of hops. I find it hard to clasify this as a pale ale. It is a very unoffensive brew but not nearly as good a version as Fullers.

Sweet and malty aroma. Small white head sits atop light caramel beer. Medium, smooth carb. Tastes malty and a bit sweet. A bit vaporous. Not bitter at all. Tasty and refreshing. Reminded me of Tetley’s.

Almost a pinkish color to it. Bit of a skunky smell, but no aftertaste to it. Decend stuff and I wouldn’t turn it down. Certainly a step up from the world of American Megabrews.
