Pours honey brown with a thick head. Floral aroma. Slightly sweet, malty flavor. Not overpowering. Smoky aftertaste. Just okay.

Copper colored with a fingernail of dishwater white. Moderate lacing. The aroma is of caramel. I'm tasting faint caramel with a sweet and slightly off putting green apple finish. As it warms I'm tasting the sweet Belgian pale malt. The mouth is fairly light and easy going.

400 ml US imported bottle. Hoppy aroma upon removal of the cap that quickly dissipated and is replaced by sweet maltiness. Pours a beautiful pale amber and forms adequate head, however retention is short but this is appropriate to style. At the recommended 50 degrees Fahrenheit nutty malt flavors drive forward but are balanced by the hops which leave a subtle bitter aftertaste. An excellent example of an English style pale ale brewed outside of the UK and with 5% alcohol is a sessionable ale to be respected.

12,5% Plato.
Correct style - Belgian Pale Ale.
Anyway, it's rather poor.

A-Nice Golden Amber with an off white head, foam dissipates quite quickly
S-Some malt comes through, but no hop aroma. Malt is slightly toasty, but seems more continental than English in its character
T-Just okay, the beer is well balanced but doesn't have much pizazz. Hops come through with a bit of minty, and woody flavor, maybe northern brewer?
M-Mouthfeel is appropriate to style, not thick and not thin with medium carbonation
O-Decent beer, but really not much for an English IPA
