The beer pours an amber color with a nice white head and tons of sexy lace left to the glass. The beer smells of malts, and maybe a bit of butterscotch. The butterscotch comes across most in the taste. The beer seems a little lacking in balance. It is a decent brew. Not the most drinkable thing out there, but no big negatives on this one.

Best session amber ever, IMO. Damn sad to see it is not available.

L: The perfect amber color, more red than copper. Clear and bright

S: Malt, not a lot of hops, medium nose, easy to smell

T: Medium maltiness, not bitter, a cross between an English straight pale and an American amber. A real session beer, enough to keep you interested through a long evening, not enough to keep you diestracted from your long evening.

F: Present. Not filling, not too satisfying, leaves you wanting a bit more. Very easy to drink, doesn't stick around in the mouth long. A drinking beer, not a pairing beer or a discussing beer.

O: Well made, nothing at all to complain about except it isn't made any more.

This was once one of my favorite beers but I cannot find it now. Quite a nice English pale ale but it fails by comparison to American craft pale ales.
