Commercial Description:
A classic British pale ale. Copper in hue and featuring only traditional English hops. Its full-bodied flavor begins crisp- with a long, dry finish and a good hoppy aroma.

sweetness has subdued and replaced by a nice even hop flavor lasting from the beginning through a soft bitter finish, would make a great esb

It has been awhile since I have had this one so bear with me. Not overly hoppy in the aroma or the flavor, a nice complex balance of hops, malt and grapefruit with a bit of a watery musty aftertaste. This is the most enjoyable of the beers at this establishment, and much better than the alternative which would be their macro selection.
