Pours a nice amber with a thin white head. Not much retention,but a nice lace. Aroma is bready with some hop notes. On the weak side. Body is thin and a bit watery. Taste is nothing to write home about. Bread and butter up front with a hoppy finish. Average.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Nonic, served cool.
Hazy Amber with a tall, sandy, khaki head. nice lacing.
quite malty on the nose, like fresh bread.
nice mouthfeel; soft but nicely carbonated.
Sultanas, wheat bread, this is a malty beer with the hops maybe a tad underpowered, Slight bitterness at the end.
Thick and bready, nice looking, good tasting. Not bad but needs a little less malt and a little bit more hops..

Edit:After giving this beer a few more tries I am changing the ratings, goes great with any meal that I have tried it with, one of the only beers that I have found that I like to eat while I drink it. However I still do not care for the beer on it's own, but do like it better than I originally did.
If you don't like this beer on the first try, give it a couple of extra chances, try it with a meal.
A: Crystal clear copper brown. Bright white head about 2 fingers high that disappeared almost immediately.
S: Smelled like freshly milled caramel malt, no hop aroma that I noticed.
T: Tasted like I was chewing on a handful of caramel malt, then ended with bitterness that complimented the malt. However I didn't much care for this flavor.
M: Creamy, absolutely no astringency, bitterness lingers for a while after drinking.
O: Didn't really care for this beer, flavory was completely dominated by specialty grains.

Can't remember who I got this from, but it was definitely part of a BIF. 12oz bottle into a Fullers nonic.
A: Slightly hazy copper color, no real head to speak of forms, just a few bubbles. A few bubbles lazily move through the glass. A nice color though.
S: Big time malts, lots of caramel and honey, smells quite bready and even a bit biscuity. No real hops to speak of, lots and lots of grainy, caramel malts. A slightly fruity yeast ester as well.
T: Not nearly as sweet as I had anticipated, grainy and fairly malty with a few hints of caramel, earthy/woody hop profile with a fair amount of hop resins that linger on the tongue with a fair amount of bitterness. Pretty tasty stuff really.
M: A lot lighter than I had anticipated from the nose, light carbonation, and a dry finish with a lingering hoppy bitterness.
O: Not a bad beer at all, a little more of a hoppy presence in the nose would really make this shine, regardless this is a nice little pale ale that I would definitely drink again.
