Great mild. Malty, nutty, sessionable. We killed a case in the course of a co-ed softball game.

This is my first English mild so I can't tell you how it stacks up to other beers of this style. However generally speaking I am a huge fan of English style ales and this one does not disappoint. To me, it tastes like a lighter version of an English brown ale. I really like having a lower abv option like this for the warm weather.

Nutty medium bodied flavor with a clean quenching mouthfeel and a clean finish. Tastes more like a bock than a mild, which makes it really strange tasting.

Appearance: Smaller hazy head, reminds me a lot of a melted Coke Slurpee.
Aroma: Malty, Bready, Slightly Salty aroma.
Taste: Extremely salty, undertones of bread or biscuits. bitter, but not hoppy.
Mouthfeel: low bodied, almost watery. small about of carbonation (may have been this bottle).
Overall: I don't know if it is just me or not but it seems too salty for my taste, If you like bready beers then this is a good choice for you, if you like Beers that are hoppy or fuller bodied steer clear.

I need something to finish my peanuts at the hockey game. It was local in Detroit so I gave it a shot. A bit boring. Brown color with a decent head and good lacing. Subdued smell with a slightly sweet bready taste. It was ok.

Just call this biscuit beer or bread in a bottle as it's big on bread flavor and yeast to the nose. Hardly and hop flavor that I could pick up. I prefer my beers with bold or robust flavors and smells. It's just too mild for my taste but I get why it might be popular with other beer drinkers.
Hugely popular in the D but it's lost on me.
