Hazy amber color. The aroma is yeasty, lightly hoppy and fruity (from the malt), with apples (not a good sign) and honey. Crispy malt flavor, quite dry mouthfeel, with strong bitterness, maybe too much. A bit rought, not bad for this.

Beautiful amber color; generous head. The aroma shows initially a hint of hops, then of malt, finally soapy caramel, uh! Dry caramel flavor, it may be interesting, good quality; but this Ale misses a lot of the qualities that make a good English Ale. Still, one good offer in the bottle, as we can’t have cask every day.
