Apr 4, 2009 On tap at The Toucan. Pours ruby brown with a small head that recedes quickly. Smooth sweet malts, with a hint of hops and spice. Sticky, honey-like mouth feel. Textbook solid bitter.

Apr 3, 2009 Quite good balance however sweet malts beat the non-distinctive hop, I do not want to offend anybody but a bit lagerish, medium-light mouth-feel,

Apr 1, 2009 Draft. Nice copper color with a small, fluffy white head. The head hung around for a couple minutes. The nose was mostly sweet malt and a hint of hops. Carbonation was medium with a medium-light mouthfeel. The malt and hops are in very good balance overall. Sweet malt taste with a hint of honey. The hops add what seems to be the slightest bit of spice. Light lingering bitter finish. Overall not a bad brew. You can certainly do much worse.

Mar 31, 2009 For a mass produced pale ale this one could be worse. I enjoyed it actually. refreshing, nothing surprising, but not too bad.

Mar 29, 2009 Tested including Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Bass Pale Ale, and Terraping Rye Pale Ale. Pours Copper color with small head. Aroma is of lightly of sweet malt, carmel (aromas are very light). Taste is crisp lightly sweet malt, dried fruit (raisins/prunes), and light bitter finish. Very balanced but lacking flavor. Overall-Taste like a good pale ale that someone poured some water in. I give this 3rd place.

Mar 28, 2009 Light coppery appearance, foamy head.Heavy malt and some hop aroma. Some caramel malt in the flavor but thats about it. Sort of watery and unpleasing. Mildly bitter finish. Eh.

Mar 27, 2009 in a ’pub’ can. for what it is, a classic brit pale, it is what it is and does a great job of it. creamy, barely sweet (or bitter)...balanced and drinkable. sure, any hophead or craft beer nut will be ’disappointed’ but you gotta love and appreciate the roots of it all. an important and still great brew. and to boot, in a can!

Mar 25, 2009 Reddish amber color with a small tan head. It has a nutty, sweet overripe fruit aroma with only a hint of hops. The taste is sweet fruit; berries, pear, and apple come to mind. Almost candyish in the finish with not much bitterness at all. Of course this is a classic, if not overwhelming, very drinkable English ale.
