English Pub Ale is a traditional English pale ale brewed to style with 100% English ingredients. Maris Otter malt provides a classic toasty, nutty maltiness, while Challenger & East Kent Golding hops impart a spicy, earthy quality and moderate finishing bitterness. This crystal-clear, copper-colored pub ale is medium-bodied and lightly carbonated, invoking the quintessential British pub experience.

From the pipnt can, it pours a clear golden amber color with a mdoest off-white head that slowly redices and leaves lacing. The nose gets a pleasant slightly sweet toasted malt scent, followed by the mouth getting toasted malt with some bitterness.

Clear, deep amber, thin off-white head, little retention, some spotty lace. Fits the style
Biscuity, slightly nutty malt, a bit of fruity yeast, some earthy/spice hop aroma
Soft, biscuity, nutty malt first, then some earthy/spicy hop flavors with just a hint of citrus. Really nice bitterness
Very soft mouthfeel, medium bodied, lightly carbonated, as fits the style. Goes down very easy
I really like beers like this when I can find them. Full of flavor, goes down easy, light enough to have a few

Can:
Medium amber with a fair initial head, though it fades to a thin ring. At least froth can be revived allowing the grain-forward malt notes to bloom. Toasted malt aromas, fairly straightforward, indicate the opening of the taste pretty well. Light weak caramel sweet notes play well with an earthy and very lightly spiced hop counter. A little citrus ekes out here and there, and a very light pine wood dryness sneaks in the aftertaste.
