It pours a clear chestnut amber color with a foamy tan head into my 16 oz Brooklyn Brewery pint glass. Head dissapears quickly, leaving minimal lacing. Sweet caramal maltiness with a biscuity flavor. Minimal hop bitterness. Dry finish. The famous Maris Otter Pale malt is used for this English style pale ale. Medium-body and a great session ale.

Pours orange amber with good clarity and a head of off white foam that fell fast & left just a little lace behind. Bubbles up bombing from the bottom. Nose is classic and very understated. Strong and steady malt base, biscuit, caramel and toast. Hops are subtle citrus, pine & floral. With the smallest hint of yeast on the nose the balance is fantastic and appetizing.Taste is delicious. Smooth, buttery, mellow. Toast and biscuit, the malt opens up deeply sweet and round. The hops are not the star here. Not much bitterness just the slightest oily touch in the finish and no aftertaste. Very mild with apple and grass as it opens up. This is a very simple and quiet English Pale Ale that is true to the style, graceful and full.
