L- Pours pale chestnut and clear. Very fleeting cap, now small and just a 10p sized patch right about the glass's nucleation point.
S- Pleasant malts.
T- It's a trad-style British ale with solid toasty malts following initial bright hops. The hops are quite prominent for the look of the beer so it makes sense it's a Pale Ale. It's overall quite a pungent combo so one to slow-sip for me than slug as I might say a lager.
F- Hoppy-bright, trad, a good breadth of Feel from bright to deep = perhaps a year-around beer.
O- Very trad, very Brit pale ale. Nothing to find to object to. Flip-side is there might not be enough unique or 'special' to warrant buying at the price by mail-order again. One for fans of trad IPA.
500ml bottle £3.25 BBE: Sep-2021 Bought from BeautfulBeers/BurySt.Edmunds as part of a large pick-your on consignment to London.

500ml bottle, bb in a week, so quite old.

Orange amber like a proper Urquell. Solid fluffy white foam.

Nose is orange rind surrounded by fruitcake, floating on herbal hops.

Mouth is real ale -bodied (not thick) herbs and spice, not a lot of malt. Medium bitterness from hops, emitting appreciably flavourful burps. A different kind of bitterness at the edges, coriander type. Put together, it is a bit as if you would blend a spicy type of witbier with a nice spicily hopped pale ale.

Hmm. At first I felt this mix does not work. But. The slightly jarring combo of different astringencies meeting without particular maltiness or strong hop aroma starts to blend better as the beer warms and palate adjusts. Still, too lopsided.
