The beer pours a light amber with a thick white head. The nose is light; mixed of fruity and dry spice. The pallet is watery. The taste is light with malts some hops and light spice. I very underwhelming beer.

A nice amber colow with a finger or two of white head. Very floral hoppy smell. The hops hit the tongue to up front, but the malts balance it out nicely. The beer left my mouth a little dry. Definately a solid ale, I’d love to drink a few of these in a sitting. Serving type: bottle

Someday, I’d like to try on tap in England. In a bottle in the states, it’s fair, but doesn’t match the many of the craft beer here at home.

I have had this on tap in a bottle. I have had it in the US, Italy and Ireland it was delicious everywhere I went. It makes for a great bottom of a Black & Tan.

500ml can, 5.1% a/v Pours a fiery orange color with a middling offwhite head. Aroma is a nice medium roast malt with a bit of metal from the can and fruity notes to back. The taste is fairly malty, not really hoppy at all. Good for a pale ale, though a bit more hops wouldnt hurt

Acually a pretty good pale ale coming from bass. I was somewhat impressed. Not bad at all. Pretty tasty for a pale ale.

Copper color with a thin white head. Light amber maltiness in the nose and a metallic tinny sort of smell. Smooth malt taste with a smoky undertone. Not really a pale ale to me, not really a bitter, and not really and amber. It is decent but really ordinary.
