Poured from bottle to pint glass the beer is a translucent amber color with a nice 2 finger white head, good retention, and lacing. Looks great. The nose is extremely sweet, overly so, with a strong caramel tone. A hint of earthy hops? Sweetness is too much and districts. The flavor starts with a nice light bready malt flavor from which the caramel builds. Again the sweetness appears and begins to overwhelm the flavor. Mildly bitter with a hint of earthy hops but the sweetness is too much. Lighter bodied and crisp with a lingering sugar flavor. Overall, too sweet for me, not balanced at all. Glad to have tried this as I had not heard of it but I won't be back.

Can't tell whether this is a pale ale or a brown ale. Brown in color, solid one inch of head on it though. Aroma didn't hit those dry hop notes they advertised. Disappointing to come across something like Burton yeast and soggy cardboard instead.

Taste was mild sweetness. No bitterness or hop flavors. Something non offensive to have in the fridge for not beer geeks to check out.

l - pale with minimal head
S - Like burnt plastic
T - Like burnt plastic, residual malt sweetness, and adjuncts.
F- Very light, almost watery.
O - This is the only 6-pack that I've ever bought where I couldn't finish it. I have a couple full bottles as a display for this, hopefully, one-time adventure from Newcastle.
