Pours a bright gold color with a meager white head of foam. Miniscule lacing. Fresh aromas of malt and grain. Husky, yet soft at the beginning. A biscuity malt profile with some herbal hop tones to it. Flavorful taste with an adequate malt backbone supported by some zaps of hop bitterness. Holy bitterness, Batman! A zing of finishing hops cleanses the palate of all things malty sweet and seals the deal. A lightly kilned malt character, immediately followed by a zesty herbal and almost minty hop flair. A nice ale, leaning towards a bitter or ESB in most respects, even if the servers box it in into a generic "English pale ale" nomenclature. Tasty
