Had this one on tap at la Cervezeria (in Valdivia, Chile) in a 1/2-L stein glass.
A: Dark copper--very red crystal clear body. Gloriously thick creamy off-white head with strong lacing on side and excellent retention--maintains head throughout entire enjoyment.
N: Malt--sweet bready, cracked wheat and honey with a hint of plum or nectarine--some sort of stone fruit.
T/M: Spicy malt--same as nose but with aspicy character on the tongue--almost like rye, but not as long lasting. Honey, buttery bread, and plums dominate the flavors. The body is very smooth with a creamy finish.... very drinkable--almost too easy.
English pales are not necessarily my favorite style, but this is one of the most complex offerings from any Chilean brewery... and it was consistently available throughout the country in bottles. It definitely went well with a burger, or even some congrio frito. Although this brewery (as with most in Chile) tends to lean more toward the German style of brewing, this beer is an excellent rendition of an English PA.

Pour a a medium brown in color, thick tan colored head. Big rich malt aroma, bready, mild caramel, a touch of dark fruit. Taste is similar , but not too sweet. Nice depth of flavor. Medium bodied, smooth carbonation
