2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
pours light copper with minimal head. Nose is caramel malts and light hops. Nothing crazy. Taste is sweet, more sweet than a pale should be, it’s needs more hops to add better balance. Palate is smooth yet crisp. Aftertaste isn’t to long.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a copper color with a sparse white head. Smells of malt, and doesn’t have much hop bite to it. Maybe a little citrus, and a malty aftertaste. Not the best pale ale.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle. Pours amber with white head; good lacing. Aroma is floral and citrus hops and soft malt notes. Flavor matches the nose. Light mouthfeel and carbonation. Not bad, but nothing special either.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle. Nothing too crazy here. Nice light citrus and floral flavor. Nothing to write home about, but an easy drinkable pale ale.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle from a variety pack. Pours clear orange with a thick, long lasting white head and good amount of lacing. Aroma is of bready, caramel malt, with notes of citrus, pear and hints of hops. The body is medium, crisp. Taste is biscuit malt, citrus fruit and earthy hops. Long, earthy finish. Nice, session brew.

12oz bottle from Premier Gourmet. Clear amber with an average fizzy/foamy off-white head. Average aroma, really - vaguely floral, some citrus, no alcohol. Taste follows - decent, unmemorable. Light body, mild carbonation, quick finish - not BAD, just .... dull.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Harris Teeter, DC sixer ($8): Pours a copper color with a small white head. Aroma is earthy and malty. Taste is way more on the malty side. Hops take second whistle. Like others have noted, this beer has a pretty British character to it. Very drinkable and sessionable. Mild aftertaste from the British hops. Slight bitterness.
