Clear amber colored beer with a small white colored head.
Smells of caramel and butter with just a little noble hop.
Starts out woody and a little woody. Caramel with a little sweetness. No real hop flavor.
Mouthfeel is watery.
Overall nothing to recommend it. Just a label looking to cash in on craft beer.

Small head that settles to a thin rim of bubbles on the glass edge. Couple of spots for lace. The liquid is dark gold and clear.
Strong caramel start. I like the floral hop on the edge of the nose.
The taste leans toward the English style of a Bitter Ale. Lots of caramel flavor with a sharp bittering hop in the swallow. Modest aftertaste but it is well balanced. Rich bodied but with a decent carbonation level.
Overall, I think this is a decent beer that reminds me of the initial beer (Watney's) that got me hooked on seeking good beer from around the world. While this could be considered a bit pedestrian for today's palate, it is very drinkable.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: Very light brown. Thin white head with no lacing on the glass.
Smell: Very off putting skunked smell.
Mouthfeel/Taste: Smooth light to medium bodied. Taste of bitter hoos and pine notes.
Overall. Excellent appearance, skunkes smell(it was fresh) was very off putting, but the taste was ok. Probably would not buy this one again.

This beer was disappointing in almost every respect.
Smelled zero hops or aromatics, just some malts.
Taste was wheaty, with almost no hop flavor.
Mouthfeel was ok.
This beer was jus bland, boring and entirely forgettable.
I don't mean to be too negative, but this was just way below the standards any brewer would expect for a pale ale.

Poured from a bottle into a shaker pint, the beer is a bright, orange-gold coloring with lots of carbonation aand a frothy, clingy, bright white head. Aromas of biscuit, toffee, and floral hops. Flavors are smooth, with a toffee backbone and peppery hops at the end to cleanse the palate. Tangy sweet and slightly bitter into the aftertaste, with a thin, slightly crisp finish. Easy to drink, but there isn't much to it, either.
