Dark auburn with two fingers of beige head. The smell is of hard water, toasted, malts, and Goldings hops. The taste follows the nose, I light sweetness and toasted malts are forward. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Drinking in Phuket Thailand December 25, 2023.

Pretty inoffensive British Pale Ale. Kind of prefer ESB's I think...general fruity sweetness and lightly bitter hops. Not really strong on flavor, even close to room temp. Still, a perfectly sessionable ale for the autumn or winter.

Clear copper with dense white head, excellent retention, rings of lace
Caramel, raisin, tea, floral, earthy aroma
Tastes like it smells
Medium-light bodied, appropriate carbonation
Would be an amber ale here in the States

Archetype of a well-balanced beer. Malty, hoppy and a bit yeasty.

Pours a clear amber with fine head.

Smell is malty and a bit sweet and floral. Notes of brown bread, leather and citrus.

Taste is malty and floral with a moderate bitterness. Notes of brown bread, leather, citrus with some yeasty and estery hints.

Mouthfeel is medium, smooth and well carbonated.

Overall, a very nice pale ale, only bothered a bit by the yeasty hints.

From a 12oz bottle. Dark amber color with a half inch of cream colored head. Solid, bready aroma. Medium body with good carbonation. Rich caramel malt with floral hops on the finish. Maltier than I thought it was going to be!
