Commercial Description:
Our award winning 8th Street Ale is based on an English-style "Best Bitter" which is the most common ale served in British pubs. What makes 8th Street Ale uncommon is its mellow bitterness and its slightly sweet malt flavor. It's aroma is derived from rare, imported Kentish hops, and lots of them.

Draft - dark gold to copper body with a beige head. A hint of dusty hops in the nose. A touch of malt in the flavor. Some of the hops in the finish. Okay, not great.

Bottle, courtesy of Scott. Poured a toasted orange/gold with an off white head. Aroma of lightly toasted caramel with a huge explosion of florals and fruit; came close to being soapy, but not quite. Admittedly not a huge fan of the style, but this was pretty nice. Easy drinking and sessionable. Starts off with some light caramel and bread flavors. Gave way to some orange and flower flavors. Slight lingering of flavor. Not overly complex, but above average for the style.

draft at brewpub. Tastes like the rest of their beers- mindless, tasteless, and not very inventive. Me no likey.

Deep golden pour with a medium foamy head that laces nicely. Aroma of lightly roasted malt and sweet ripe fruit. Flavor is much the same, with a nice light hop bite on the finish. A good brew, but not Four Peaks best.

Good local beer company, bottle: this is the company’s most popular brew, aromas of tart fruits, definately some floral and citric hops, fruits like tangerine, pours a 2 finger head, leaves behind some nice lacing, flavors of fruits, like citrus and tangerines, some floral hops, palate is a little bit watery, but finishes with fruty dryness, seems like a toned down Fuller’s, so they hit the mark with the style. Nice local brew

CASK. Absolutely! A smooth but formidable-tasting beer whose cream, apple, sugar and plant notes emerge without carbonation. Could have drank this all night, but alas my heart is a wanderer.
