Happily brewed in collaboration with a local home brew competition winner. This is a tradition English pub beer brewed exclusively with European malts, yeast, and noble hops.

Poured a golden honey color that was translucent but not transparent. The head was near white and had large bubbles.
The aroma was mild for my damaged nose, yet there were some hops present.
The taste showed why I could smell the hops - definitely a hopped up version of the style. Tasty, and certainly not overbearing, but when I want that much hop presence in my beer I'll grab an IPA.
The feel was good, no issues with how quaffable it is. It looked viscous in the glass but it really isn't. Very drinkable.
OA, not sure if I was expecting a Fuller's clone or what; this is a fine beer, just not what expected.

Many thanks to BigIronH for this can.
A - Pours a vibrant medium copper gold color with a thin, healthy layer of white creamy foam resting on top.
S - Biscuity malt base with an earthy hop fragerance. It's a well balanced aroma that's appropriate for the style.
T - Biscuity maly base with a mild sweetness that gets scrubbed away with a pillar of earthy hops in the form of citrus, floral, and a bit herbally. Nice balanced finish.
M - Medium body with gentle carbonation.
O - Not a style I seek out but this is definitely true to its style roots.

Pours a beautiful golden amber with a finger of white foam. Nose is bitter hop, bready malt, some funky yeast notes, and a sweet corn aroma. Taste follows suit to a tee. Decent beer, very drinkable.
