4.09/5  rDev +18.9%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25

Medium brown ale with a thin head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of nuts, caramel and wood. Flavors of mild spice and wood/leaves. Has a light, sessionable body and plenty of flavor. There was some mild skunk when the bottle was first opened but it became imperceptible after pouring. A great example of English ale.

Serving type: bottle

look: 5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

A: Medium shade of brown with a hint of orange. The head is a thick creamy eggshell white. Brilliantly transparent, and the head coats the glass like thick cream, leaving a sheet of lace.

S: It has an interesting smell. At first it smells spicy, kind of like a gingerbread cookie. There's a bit of caramel scent in there as well.

T: It tastes just like it smells. There's a spicy character to it, which interlaces itself with the hop bitterness. There's a caramel cookie flavor to the beer.

M: The mouthfeel is very thin and watery, but it feels light with smooth carbonation.

O: Overall it's what you'd expect from an English Pale Ale. Easy drinking with just enough bitterness, but not too much.

Serving type: can
