<i>Bottle from Chevy Chase Liquors, Washington</i><br />Hazy amber color, nice lace. Strong earthy aroma, medium mouthfeel, dry caramel flavor, reasonable hopping. It’s like a crossover between an English IPA (bitter but not as much as an American one and without fruity/resiny hops) and a good English Bitter (the earthy hops).

12oz bottle shared courtesy of weeare138. Poured a medium and clear amberish / golden color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of earth, grainy, and light citrus. Tastes of grains, citrus, light caramel, and some pine.

Bottle... Lightly hazed golden/orange ale with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. Breadsy, black tea and mild grapefruit nose. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with prickly carbonation. Medium black tea and grapefruit bitterness barely outshines moderate toffee and biscuit sweetness. Lingering, moderately bitter finish. <b>Thanks go out to beerbill for shipping the bottle my way!</b>
