Head fizzled out quickly. Left a copper brew with a nearly flat top. No foam withstood the gas purge.

A chlorinated aroma with those Marris Otter malts trying to breach through. A little floral hop tries to cut through a mild grain sweetness. Toastiness is there, but a little muted.

Attenuated flavors with malt dominance. Tart apple and rotted apple combine with earthiness, sparge water, herbal hops, spicy bitterness, toast, and toffee. That bitterness really swells in the finish. Not sure how I feel about this mild tartness.

Carbonation is very low. The bitterness almost fakes it. Body is wet and weak. I'd use the term 'watery' here.

A lot missing here. Carb, body, esters, hop flavor... just an imbalanced English Pale. Doesn't remind me of a baseball beer neither.

Serving type: bottle
