I tried this on tap at Wacker -served chilled in a pint
The color is medium amber with good clarity. The smell has a light toast and subtle spice in the yeast ester. The feel is more bitter than expected and dry with a light body.
The taste is decent with mild English yeast presence and spice-like hops with mild mineral quality as the finish is dry with a light toasted malt flavor. This is a pretty good ale, but ordinary as far as the style goes.

Had this on 2015-03-27 at Quips Pub in Lancaster, PA. On cask; hand pulled.
Quips is an English style pub. I went in for dinner tonight and noticed they now have this house beer on case, which is brewed by Wacker. The pulled-pour took a couple of efforts by the bartender to let it settle and pour again; as expected. I was quite engaged in conversation and there were a lot of food odors present. For review purposes, It'd be nice to try this again in a more sterile environment but in any case, here are my impressions.
A - It's a somewhat hazy yellow with a big 2-finger white head and decent lace.
S - Bread and mild fruit
T - Bread, some fruit sweetness. Very restrained bitterness.
M - Light medium body and carbonation.
O - Tasted pretty good with a bit of a sourdough finish. I enjoyed it.
