COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our flagship pale is a classic British pale ale with a nod to the legendary beers of Burton-on-Trent. Copper-colored, dry, clean and crisp with lots of late hope taste in an appetizing complex with ale fruitiness from imported Hampshire yeast.
Ingredients: Two row English malt (pale, crystal and chocolate); Cascade, Mt Hood, Tettnang and Fuggle Hops.

poured a decent amber color with a thin white head. Sweet malty aroma with a piney presence in the back ground. Sweet taste with some hops. Really enjoyable, ot overpowering. Had a slighly over-carbonate finish.

davesarman (159) - Waconia, Minnesota, USA - APR 15, 2005
Strong, earthy aroma. Malt to be sure, but also what seems to be an off aroma, pipe tobacco like. I hope this is not a bad bottle. Lots of sediment at the bottom of the bottle, so this is a BCA and I don’t know how well this beer was cared for at the store. (Bought as a single.) Deep caramel, copper color. LIght carbonation. Head forms, but fades fast and leaves little lacing. Taste is definitely off. Metallic, stale. Strong malt flavors are there, but masked by oxidation. Too bad, this seems like it could have been a great beer if it was fresher or in better condition.

Nate (3026) - Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 5, 2005
Has a mild fruity aroma, macerated apples. Some light alcohol, bit of paper bag, musty malt or grain. Bit of fake sweetness. Dull amber with a bit of haziness. Has thin off-white head. Medium body with medium-heavy carbonation. Starts with a bit of biscuit, light sweetness of toffee. Mild acidity and medium bitterness. The finish is dry with a scratchy bitter, bit chalky. Mild fruity or biscuit notes in the after, with dry nutty bitter.

thehoff (569) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - JAN 9, 2005
Orange body. Evasive offwhite head. Smells tangy, maybe some bitter hops. The flavor is a little offensive, over carbonation. Has a dry bitterness that you feel in the back of the throat. Not the greatest pale ale in the world.

DocLock (5776) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 6, 2005
Dark straw colored, with aroma of malt, hops, slight fruit. Tastes of hops, citrus, some floral sensations at finish. Not well balanced or very complex. Semi-dry finish.

12 oz bottle. What is that FLAVA? Not a good one. Weird hop/adjunct/craziness flavor going on? Whats the deal, I want to fight that lobster for honor

hershiser2 (1006) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - DEC 27, 2004
Paid $1.49 for a 12-oz single. Drk golden to light amber with a large white head. Smells hoppy, with little else. Taste is kinda bland, with some malt and hop, but no defined flavor. Finishes very dry.
