Appearance: Pours a dirty dark shade of yellow with bits of brown and green in it. A Colgate-white, one finger tall head appears only to fade after two minutes. No lacing really.
Smell: Malty and citric with elements fresh aromatic hops. There’s also lots of dried fruits, specifically peaches and apricots. Also a whiff bakery four o’clock in the morning.
Taste A shortlived and intense sweetness, giving way to a hard bitterness that is gone in seconds, the flavors being dragged down with it although they linger for a moment on the tongue. The bitterness has a grapefruit and stainless steel kitchen countertop resemblance. A handful of other exotic citric fruits such as lime, lemon, orange and bitter orange. A clove-tasting spice is also in there somewhere.
Mouthfeel: A light to medium body. A fleeting and light liquid which has more than your average share of carbonation. A carbonation which then settles very fast.
In conclusion: When served ice cold (English Pale Ale is best served at 12-14C/54-57F) I first got the impression that it was a mostly bitter and somewhat flavorless beer they’d offered me. As I let my hand warm up the glass, flavors magically started to appear… Had I not waited for the ale to warm up it would’ve gotten a lower rating. This is good, average and safe choice of ale for a wider audiance.
