Stonefly Four Wolves English Ale

I recently sampled this brew, and it was might tastey. The newest of Stoneflys beers. It pours a nice clear copper colour, a perfect example of a pale ale. Not extremely hoppy, well balanced, soft floral aromas and a pleasent light bitter finish.

Draught sample at Beer Barons tasting. Cloudy yellow with thin white head. Aroma of grassy and herbal hops and light sweet malt. Taste is of grassy and floral hops, lemon and light sweet malts with and aftertaste of grass. Mild bitterness and a shade bland.

Served on draught at the Wisconsin Micro-brewers Beerfest in Chilton, Wisconsin. Pours a clear light copper amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates nearly clean. Aroma of caramel malt, some light pear and apple fruitiness with a touch of herbal spices. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, some toffee and more dry herbal spices. Finish is somewhat dry with a mild herbal aftertaste is lingers after the finish. Interesting and different.

A nice, though not overwhelmingly grand, beer. The nose is somewhat more understated than I would like to encounter, being a bit of caramel and a floral/herbal mix. The taste is butterscotch mingling with floral hops.

On tap at Stonefly as "Four Wolves English Ale". Poured clear bright golden with a slight orange tint… light, creamy white head and thoroughly-coating lacing. The aroma found dry lighter fruits and English toffee.. pleasant and sweet, but weak. In the flavor department, sharp lemon and sour herbal notes take over and leave a tacky, ugly flavor on the finish.. sweet bready notes and toffee at the core, but they’re pushed back. Light-bodied with a creamy middle on the palate.. again the sharpness jumps up at the back, and this doesn’t end well.
