On tap.
Pours a dark copper, almost chestnut color with slight off-white head that settles down to a ring around the rim that leaves bits of lace here and there. Aroma shows a slight sour-grain with some dry-grain and modest hops. Flavor pretty much follows suit with a little more emphasis on the dry-grain part. It’s as if this beer doesn’t know whether to be a standard English pale or a brown ale so it decides to split the difference. Finishes with a medium-thick palate, certainly thicker than I’ve come to expect from English-style pub ales. Not my favorite but I’d probably order another if I saw it as a guest tap somewhere.

On draught at the brewpub in Marshfield, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-hazy caramel amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a white ring and some film. Light nose aroma of caramel malt, brown sugar, cotton candy, and some hollow dry fuggles bitterness. Taste is semi-sweet, very light carbonation with caramel malt and some brown sugar. Finish has a mild bitterness with a sweet caramel aftertaste. Pretty much the same recipe and flavor as the previous owners.
