Crisp, hoppy (well, not if you’re from California). Amber in colour, with caramelly, barklike flavours. Moderate bitterness for the style. A decent example.

Clear light copper body with small beige head. Aroma is moderately sweet, floral. Taste is mildly sweet, caramel, earthy, and slightly floral. Finish is mild, though there's a definite earthy aftertaste. Pleasant English-style IPA.

Bottle. Amber colour with a small tan head. Light sweet pine, citrus, hoppy aroma and taste. Medium body and a light bitter sweet, dry finish.
