12oz bottle pours a mixed brown goldish color, a kind of bitter beginning yet not impressed by this brew

One of my favorite paler beers... smooth and easy to drink. Good with a meal. Pours a darkish golden color with a white head. Aroma is pretty light and flavor is a little malty but a little bitter at the same time. 12 oz. bottle.

Nice pale ale, perfect bitterness, with a nice white head at pouring. As it should be.

Pours with an off-white fizzy head covering a clear copper body. Areoma is a tad metallicy, with grapes and its more malty than hoppy. Taste is malty with some DMS and a corny aftertaste. Pretty watery. Fizzy mouthfeel.

Good overall beer. A little bitter, medium after-taste, appealing dark amber to slight red color and light tan head.

Not a bad Pale ale. On tap at Morrigans Pub in Kin Town. A little bitter for my taste but acceptable considering its a pale ale

Bottle. This is another one of those beers that I feel used to taste better. This one taste like an English version of Bud or Miller. Very disappointed.

(England) Nice amber color with a thin white head. The aroma is kinda soapy with a slight carmel / fruity taste. Overall this brew average, but goes down smooth,very drinkable !! Not bad if you want to drink more then a few.
