On cask at The Black Lion, Brighton.

Pours cranberry amber with a creamy (sparkler?) white head. Sour grain and woody hop nose. Toasted almond and nougat malts with lemon taffy hops. Creme end and a bitter linger. Light to medium, creamy and soft.

"English Pale Ale" is not the best label, but the brewer lists this as both a Best Bitter and a session brew, which I thought was a contradiction in terms, so I'm not gonna pretend to fully understand English brewing nomenclature.

Some interesting candy bar notes, easy drinking pint.
