Looks and pours great, The aroma is hoppy with caramel notes. The taste seems a little tart, with medium malt and high hops. Tasty

(22 oz. bottle) Pours a light amber with a biscuit head. Weak malt aroma. Pretty good lacing. Mouthfeel OK, slightly thin. Taste: mostly bitter, kind of sharp, finishes a little yeasty. Passable, on the bitter side, not much else for flavor. Fine bottle depicting Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, 20th Maine Volunteer Regiment, USA.

Not a good represenation of a pale ale, matly and sweet, lacking hops. It reminds me a lot of the taste of a brown ale. It look really good when I poured it out of the bottle, a nice copper color with a large white head. it feels okay in the mouth. The finish is also malty and smells matly.

Pours clear copper with a decent sized head, good aroma floral hop and caramel malt aroma, decent flavor hints of hops and a very well blended flavor of sweet malts, not a typical pale ale, i enjoyed this, and would drink it again, full bodied, tastes stronger than 4.8%.

Very solid pale ale. The hops came through strong at the end and provided a nice crisp taste. Not much on the nose and the beer is a clear pale copper.

This was a good english pale, but certainly not classic. It had the sweet carmel malt that you would look for in a pale. But more overwhelming there was this buttery, wood-like flavor. Very creamy texture. I liked it a lot. Pours copper color with creamy head. I’d drink it again for sure.

Clear coppery hue, modest head formation. Creamy toffee aroma, toasty malt, mild fruity hop spice. Hoppy, citrussy, spicy palate, plenty of bite especially in the finish. Toasted, mildly biscuity malt. Pretty much in the English pale ale mold.

1.9 pinter. This guy bounced back and forth on me. One moment, a tolerable, not great, somewhat crispy, cigar hop flavour to one of stale hops and mildew. I could gather only a few instances where something would jump on the palate. I guess what I tasted was a little bit nutti and maybe some raisons and grass. Not very well balanced and a rather dry experience.
