Bottle: Pastuerised
Captures the soul of beer. It has a maltiness that reminds you that beer is a product of the soil. Balance of malt and hops.

A great deal of citrus and bitter in the aroma. The flavor has some of those hop notes, with light malt, and then more hops in the aftertaste. Smooth going down, with a fair amount of carbonation, this is solid.

Pours pretty healthfully with a two finger foam head. Clear amber hue. Nose wasn’t too exciting, probably too preserved. Nice english hop taste but the maltiness seemed to take a back seat. Overall, OK but

Pours a deep blood orange into a shaker. Fluffy tan micro head does not recede. Flat with light malt flavors and a back of the mouth bitter finish.

Sweet aftertaste, nicely balance out the slight bitterness. I agree with another reviewer that it taste more like a brown ale. Good english beer.

Bottle. Tasted more like a brown than a pale - but a good brown. Maltier than a typical pale and not as much hops as I would expect. I tried this after the Brown Ale and thought the labels had been swapped.

Nice smooth taste, with a sweet finish. Amber color with a nice head that doesn’t stick around after a few minutes. I really like the taste of this ale, which has a very pleasing flavor overall.

Pours brown with a white head. It has a nice sweet corn malt aroma blended with hops. The flavor is of mild hops with a nice malt balance. It finishes strong with hops and is smooth going down. A very nice beer.

Poured a beautiful amber colour with a brownish frothy head. Caramel and maybe toffee aroma. Definite sweet caramel taste with the perfect amount of carbonation, not much at all. Very smooth but with a strong taste. Not quite my type of beer, but still quite nice for the rare occasion
