COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Its predominantly hoppy character and lighter body give it a subtle hop spiciness.

Not a whole lot to this beer, too light of a body, seemed a bit watered-down, not enough hops & a little too much malt, a bit unbalanced

Deep straw colored with good head. Smells like malt and slight honey. Tastes malty, with some hops. Smooth, slightly yeasty and metallic finish. So so.

Pours light golden with a medium sized white head. Aroma is faint but sweet - similar to cotton candy. Flavor has a little bit of citrus and nuttiness to it - not real exciting. The finish is a bit acidic. Overall an average ale.

Nothing much going on here. The aroma in the bottle was nice with a lot of PA character. Mostly tart, very light sweetness, tart fruitiness, moderate hopping. Thinnish and clingy on the backend. OK label, on the lighter side of the familiar pale amber.

Introduced to me as a Old English Pale Ale. I had to check the description three times. It tastes like a mediocre American pils. Watery and without substance.

From 2000 Notes - Amber color, typical aromas and flavors. Not the best of this style.

Nice clear amber color. Actually surprised with this. Didn't expect much. Lacing whtie head. Fruit/hops spring from the aroma. A very ncie APA. Some malt but not much. I like this!
