<b>Objectively speaking:</b> An entry level beer that does the entry level job. <br /> <b>I like:</b> Quite a tasty, malt-oriented ale. Clean, flowery, biscuity. It would feel English indeed if you just added a juicy fruitiness somewhere and more hop confidence. <br /> <b>I dislike:</b> Not much passion involved. Relying a bit too heavily on the grainy side of things.

Clear golden with a fleeting head. Nice aroma is grainy pale malt grist. Light/medium body. Nice semi dry flavor is grainy pale malts with a taste of honey sweetness. Crisp, clean finish. Better than a BMC.

Sampler at the brewpub. Pours pale yellow with very little head or lacing. The nose features grassy hops and little more. Not unpleasant. Not exciting. Light and soft, almost flat, with clean finish. The flavor reminds me of a honey ale with a lightly floral and grassy hop background. This beer was such a noticable "drop-off", from the other seven, that I’m inclined to think that they might have had a problem with their lines or something else that contributed to this beer seeming a bit "off".

On tap @ the Brew pub: Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head. Aroma, grassy with some light malty notes. Flavor, pale malts, grassy notes, with some yeast in the background.

<i>On tap.</i><br />Pours a hazy light straw yellow with little to no head. Far more a blonde than a pale ale. Aroma hints at some rich malt and a sharp hop bitterness with some notes of citrus. Flavor: yep, this is a lawnmower beer all right. Grassy, pinprick-bitter hops are the first impression of this so-called pale ale that tastes for all the world like a Kolsch. The malt that showed in the aroma are hiding behind the hops in the flavor. Medium to thin palate. Pretty decent beer but not what one expects of an English pale ale.
