Bottle (GBBF 2009) - Amber/copper coloured. Spicy malt aroma with hints of aniseed and biscuits. Nicely balanced taste with spicy malt, biscuits and hops leading to a crisp, fruity and hoppy finish.

Bottle, sampled at Tank’s Taproom Spring Beerfest. Pretty decent Pale Ale. It has a maltier aroma and flavor as one would expect from an English Pale Ale. Nice amount of bittnerness in the aftertaste.

Amber-orange hue. Light- to medium-bodied. Little nip of noticeable alcohol. Grainy malts with very little sweetness. Notes of toasted bread and burnt caramel. Spicy, tea-like hops, with elements of bitter flowers. Other notes of metal, pear, lemon grass and light tobacco. Piques the curiosity.

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.

Bottle... Clear amber ale with a large, fluffy, white head. Excellent, tight retention. The soapy, biscuity nose offers notes of pale malts, biscuit and caramel. The flavor is of pale, biscuity malt and a nice, crisp, hop kick. A touch grainy with a mild note of butterscotch. Medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and intermediate carbonation. Mid-length, sticky-sweet finish.

This Pale Ale pours a golden amber color from a 22 oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel, fruity and sweet. A medium to light bodied Pale Ale. An English style pale ale, Malts are caramel and sweet. Hops are grapefruity and piney. A touch earthy and there is a lingering bitterness. Nice solid malts. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
