Hazy dark orange, light malt with bread aroma. Ends light sweet with bread-like qualities. Lightly carbonated and smooth, mild.

On tap at the source. Pours a clear solid light amber color with a thinnish off white head that dissipates slowly. Smells of citrus and earthy hops with a smattering of bready, dare I say, biscuit-y malt. Light hints of caramel in there as well. Smells great for a pale ale. Taste follows the smell really well, bready biscuit and a hint of caramel backed up with enough citrus and earth to keep me interested. Medium to thin body, medium level of carbonation, slick smooth almost resinous mouthfeel. I’d never tried this before on many a trip to Martha’s and I’m really glad I did. This is a smooth, clean, well balanced easy to drink pale ale.

Amber with a white head. Earthy herbal hop notes lead to citrus, grapfruit, caramel, and biscuit. The flavor holds grassy, earthy citrus bitterness with biscuit and caramel malt dominating. Medium mouthfeel with the slightest resin in the finish.

A hazed golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, nice floral hops, with mineral notes. In mouth, a decent pale ale with more grapefruits, British hops, herbal and chlaky. Quite nice. On tap at brewpub, Dec. 27 2009.

Veyr nice to drink, a little gassy as many U.S. good beers and it was a pleasure to find it in GBBF 2009.

Cask at GBBF 2009. Hazy orange pour. Fruity aroma. Very tired fruity taste, no hop presence. This sample had clearly seen better days.
