A great frothy, white head forms when poured from the bottle. Color is copper/amber in color with a med to high carbonation rate. Aroma is fruity with a light apple scent to accent the pale malt sweetness. Flavor has a faint granny smith apple tartness to it, a slight bitter grassy hops middle and ends with a pale malt sweetness. Beer has a little bit of a water feel toward the end of the tasting. Overall beer is pretty good for being hugely produced product will definitely drink again sometime.

Lite pale ale. Much easier to drink than other pale ales from America I have recently tasted. Almost no hops or aroma present.

Pours light amber into a shaker. White head recedes to skim surface. Slight butterscotch aromas. Soft and smooth with very little caramel malt flavor and even less hops.

Light amber color with a moderate white head that evaporates quickly. Toffee like smell with some mild fruit to it. Toffee flavor with mild hop back. Blah.

Bottle. Deep amber pour with creamy head. Nose is caramel and hops, a little grainy. Taste is very slick and smooth with some caramel malts, honey and hints of the hops in there. Decent pint but a bit metallic and cries macro all over.

Amber colour with a strong hop aroma. Taste is full and lingers. Nice introductory beer for people that want to go beyond mass produced ales.

clear light amber. not a strong representative ale of england, but i’ll take this lighter ale over most american (perhaps what foster is to australia: i.e., not much). steady spring of carbonation. enjoyed this from a bottle on a much needed xmas break in stuart, fl.
