Commercial Description:
An English-style Pale Ale. We chose to deliver this beer with a blended Nitrogen and CO2 gas mixture. This delivery method provides a smooth and silky texture to the mouth without compromising a balanced hop profile.

A very light mixed aroma of malt and hop. Darkish amber color with white head that laces a bit. Smooth and creamy start of decent but not overly strong hop. Some malt does arrive for the finish. Served at a reasonable temperature; close your eyes and you’re in England. Another great Moylan’s product.

(Draft. Nitro. 03/2006). This is a very nice beer. Good job JC. Aroma: subdued; hint of maltiness with a bit of earthiness. Appearance: on Nitro, this was a joy to behold ... once the cascade of gas stopped, a beautiful, amber color with lasting white head. Flavor: as close to any English bitter I’ve had in England were it not served too cold ... tasty. Malty, hint of apple and pear .... very nice. Nothing overwhelms this beer and you could drink it all night. Palate: medium. Just right. Soft by virtue of the Nitrogen ... only wish it were on cask.

Amer ale with a thine white head. Light caramel malt aroma without much hops. Sweet malt in mouth, with unbalanced harsh hops. Overall, an unpleasant ESB. Russian River Beer Revival & Barbecue Cook-Off, August 20, 2005.
