OVERALL: A solid, classic British-style pale ale. Great for a afternoon at the pub, or watching a match at home during COVID..

Aroma: butterscotch and lightly toasted bread
Taste: caramel, butter, lightly toasted bread
Mouthfeel: Light and dry, with low carbonation
Finish: quick-med, with a subtle lingering earthy bitterness
Serving Style 355 ml can

Deep brown and filtered with little carbonation and a finger of well sustained, light beige head.
Smells of malt and a bare hint of orange.
Tastes of lightly toasted malts.
Light body with moderate carbonation.
I got this in Abbotsford BC and drank it in Redding, CA, sept 15, 2019.

355ml bottle - made with 'traditional ' Golding hops, so this thing should be English all the way.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat shiny off-white head, which leaves some decent splattered and sudsy lace around the glass as it slowly seeps out of sight.
It smells of bready and biscuity caramel malt, mixed bruised pome fruit, a bit of free-range toastiness, and some understated earthy, leafy, and spicy floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, some apple, pear, and generic berry fruitiness, dry honey crackers, and more tame earthy, musty, and floral old-school hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly sedate in its lackadaisical frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, but for a touch of clamminess arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the big malt keeping up pretenses, while the hops struggle in their lingering stance.
Overall - judging this for what it's supposed to be, and not what I personally want it to be, this offering damned-near hits it out of the proverbial park. The hops are just bitter enough to steady the malt sweetness, making for an easy-drinking, pub-friendly quaff. Cheerio!
