This beer was a very average English Pale Ale. Nice amount of hops, but slightly on the bitter side. The appearance was good, smell was slightly bitter, and like I said.. the taste was bitter as well. I could only have one of these.. I don't think I've ever realized, but I prefer IPA's to EPA's.

Serving type: can

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.75

Appearance: Pinkish brown with excellent, excellent tan foam and perfect lacing.

Smell: Cotton candy..very faint.

Taste/Mouthfeel: Fairly light flavor. Very creamy with a maple cotton candy flavor. Mouthfeel is like thin Guinness, definitely not my favorite.

Overall: Kind of a niche beer. Very similar to Boddingtons, and definitely better.

Serving type: on-tap

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.
