Had a pint on draft at P.F. Chang’s for $4 on happy hour
Half inch of white head, slightly amber body, minimal lacing
Aroma is sweet bread, not much else
Taste has a slight earthy hop but mostly sweet biscuit flavor, maybe corn?
Feel is watery and light, maybe refreshing to some but personally was very reminiscent of a session
Overall I know English variants aren’t meant to have any hop character but I guess I expected more from the Malts
If this is a proper representation of the style I have no need to revisit.

Wonderful color, wow! Bottle poured well and beautiful with a nice head. Caramel malt and slightly toffee, though subtle. As an English, it was good and the malt was prominent. It was a pleasure to drink, but nothing too special, and many other of the type I might choose first. All in all a good experience and what you might expect from Firestone.

Got one for Super Bowl party.
A good, dependable representative of a British Pale ale, nothing special, but good for a session. Not on par with is British cousins though.
