This English inspired ale conjures up images of spending summers hanging out in what the Brits refer to as their “back gardens”. This beer could be considered an English Bitter and maybe even Pale so the name holds true however you categorize it. The English hop character is derived mostly from Target hops to provide a slightly firm bitterness in the middle. The malt profile is biscuity, nutty, cracker like flavor.

On-tap at the source itself, on to the beer:
This English-styled ale has an orangish golden color and offers a fusion of English and American flavors. Its smell brings earthy, caramel, woodsy, and floral aromas to my nose, and the flavor is relaxed overall. Earthy at the beginning, then some vague sweet notes follow, then hit with a kiss of hops and a slight diacetyl note. It's a light/medium bodied beer with gentle carbonation. As an English-styled ale brewed in America, it hits that mark.
