Amber color. Elegant aroma of English hops. The body is medium, some light malt and caramel taste, but the hops are lost, they leave light traces.

Poured a medium amber color with a large off white head. Malty and caramel aroma and tastes. Little nutty as well. Not a bad beer but nothing special either.

Crystal clear, amber/orange ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Excellent retention and terrific, weeping lacework. The aroma is a bit breadsy and soapy. The flavor is well-balanced, but pretty bland. Tastes and smells like a mediocre English Bitter. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and light carbonation. Lengthy, tangy finish.
