Clear reddish/copper color with a thin white head a low carbonation. Aroma of green apples, caramel and diacetyl and a little of an old stale pub aroma that I find endearing but I am not sure what it is. Straight ahead flavor of malt and caramel and a fair amount of butterscotch with a little bitterness in the end. A bit tart with some chalkiness also. Well balanced, clean and easy to drink.

Nice amber color pour with a thin tan head. Sweet nutty caramel malt aroma, along with a hint of fruit. Flavor is also sweet and malty, with a nice hoppy bittering finish. Medium mouthfeel. Pretty refreshing.

From a bottle poured a dark copper color with a fair amount of head. Nice hoppy flavor with a quick finish.

Pour from a 550 ml bottle. Amber in color with a disappearing small white head. Aroma has hints of caramel, sweet malts, and hops. I think I was expecting more from the flavor. There is some hop bitterness as well as some caramel malts. The problem is this beer is a little thin and doesn’t have enough flavor to keep it interesting. From notes.

Flavoursome malt-driven English-style pale ale. Amber colour, large frothy head. Lively aroma, bursting with hops, caramel malt and biscuits. Medium-bodied and earthy. Caramel malts on the tongue and a dry bitter finish. However, it’s a fairly simple brew, with little of the complexity of some of their other ales. (Bottle)

a light pale ale aroma was sweet with some caramel notes. Taste seem very plain just basic maltiness and a slight hop presence. After taste was hoppy with a slightly offenesive, kind fruit aspect.

55 cL bottle, pint glass, 55 degrees F. Tall, creamy, off-white head is well lasting and sits on a clear brown-red body. Cookie, molasses malt (M); flowery hops (L); raisin and toffee aromas. Rich aroma is quite pleasant. Flavor shows hints of staleness and has a grainy aspect not present in the aroma. Lightly sweet, lightly acidic flavor becomes a lightly sweet, lightly bitter, moderately acidic, lightly unclean finish. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: s'alright.

A - large amounts of biscuity yeast with a touch of malt.
T - slightly bitter with malts a plenty.
