Pour is a little uncontrollable and the whole pint glass is filled with raging bubbles that finally settle in a 2 finger head that is the creamiest looking I've ever seen. It's so smooth it almost looks lie cream cheese. Body is a nice dark color and it's pretty clear.

The nose is sticky sweet malts and it even smells creamy.

Very light sweet malts which give quick impression of sugar and lemon and maybe a touch of honey. This is one of the simplest beers I've ever had. A bit of cream plays along, but there;s not even a hint of hops. Sweet creamy and very clean.

Mouthy is hinting at creamy but manages only to present a watery thinness.

There's really not much flavor, and yet there is a measure of "drinkability". I don't mind it--it's good even, but it's pretty unimpressive. I wish it had a bit more to offer. I do think for a nice hot day it might be a real nice departure from the usual crisp and hoppy beers. Goodish-not great.

A-pours a clear golden straw color with a creamy white head that persists
S-Very faint hop aroma with some sweet malt presence. Overall pretty low hop aroma
T-very muddled, consisting of hop bitterness that lacks distinct flavors with some malt sweetness, metallic cloying after taste
M-pretty thin and watery, which is surprising since its a nitro can
O-I haven't had a ton of english pale ales but I can tell this falls a bit short.

All this gets in my book is points for appearance. You should probably open this over a sink. Good clear honey brown with a permanent dense foamy head.
From there it becomes an extremely one dimensional beer. Not much aroma. Pale malts and a little honey sweetness. The taste is virtually nonexistent and leaves a metallic aftertaste. Other than the thick creamy head this feels flat and watery. Wouldn't get again
