[Suggested Glassware: Nonic Pint]

The pour was a cloudy medium amber with an average (1-2 finger) white frothy head that reduced to a thick film with a medium collar and good streaky lacing.

The aroma was of a light grain malt, floral hops and a mild sweet yeast with notes of caramel, citrus (orange) and a mild fruity ester.

The taste was light sweet and malty with a mild hint of caramel throughout and a light hoppy citrus bitterness towards the end. The flavor was short lived, with pretty much all flavor disappearing rather quickly.

Mouthfeel was light in body and watery in texture with a somewhat moderate carbonation.

Overall this brew does offer a good drinkability, but is kind of light in flavor...

Pours a murky honey orange with a foamy off-white head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Thin rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, honey, fruit, and grassy aromas. Taste is much the same with grain, citrus, and herbal flavors on the finish. I am also getting a slight metallic taste as the beer warms up. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an average beer that is drinkable but a bit boring in my opinion.

500ml bottle poured into tulip 1/4/13

A slight haze in a pale golden body with bubbles of all sizes and lots of tiny particles moving around, finger of foam quickly falls to a thin film leaving some random lace well down the glass

S sweet bready malt, a little honey, faint citrus and a little musty basement and juicy fruit

T much like the nose but with some spicy and herbal hops coming out, slight improvement over the smell

M medium bodied and the bubbles fill it out well, rather refreshing with a spicy hop finish

O pretty decent example of the style, I'm enamored by EPA but I could have another if the Sun was shinning

I suppose I'd get board after a few but that could be said about most English brews I've had. Worth a try and I'm a little surprised it has a pretty average rating

Brown bottle with a scarecrow standing over a patch of hops, an owl on it's arm. Labelled USDA/organic.

Slightly cloudy, and golden in color with a 3 finger white head that recedes very quickly. Leaving decent lacing. No carbonation bubbles.

The aroma seemed not much above that of a macrobrew until the floral/grassy hops punched through.Clean and fresh smelling.

Taste is more one dimnsional Mainly light malts with a faint bitterness of hops.

Moderate in body. Very drying.

Pleasant enough, just pretty low key. Outside of the aroma, nothing really stands out. Very easy drinking, however. Probably a good session brew.
