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

thornecb (2959) - Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA - JAN 16, 2009
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.

Beardface (1480) - Eugene, Oregon, USA - JAN 14, 2009
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.

luttonm (852) - Belgrade, SERBIA - JAN 11, 2009
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.

cfrancis (1222) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 10, 2009
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.

mountainforest (128) - Mississippi, USA - JAN 8, 2009
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.

afireinside96 (924) - Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 7, 2009
Bottle. Clear amber pour topped by a diminishing white head. Smells of toffee and earthy English hops. Tastes of caramel and tobacco. This used to be my go to beer before I discovered craft beer, now it is merely OK.
