(Listed as 5.5% when I visited the brewery). Appearance: Clear, light copper body with a small white head. Smell: Light pale maltiness to the aroma with faint notes of citrus and spicy hops. Taste: Mild pale malt presence with a subtle sweetness. Flash of fruitiness. Light spicy hop character. Subdued hop bitterness. Bittersweet finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Alright for a pale!

The third time was the charm for me at the Jack of the Wood -- I sampled 3 of their draughts, and this, my third, was the "jackpot" (so to speak). Appearance: Cloudy, reminiscent of a dark Hoegaarden, somewhat strawy. Nose: Subtle, but solid. Taste: This one was damn sexy. Grainy, hoppy, a nice bitter note with some snappiness to it, and a twist of apricot. Quality "English understatement" that I adore. I give this one an A+ in the flavor department. Palate: Perfect. Overall: Wonderful. A tremendous session beer.

This was just okay, but it was very soapy, had a nice after dinner flavor to it. Fruity nose, with a very light malt background. Weak for the style, but very drinkable.
