1L howler from Keg 'n Cork.

This beer pours a clear, bright medium bronzed amber hue, with one skinny finger of puffy, weakly foamy, and generally bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent melting limestone cliff lace around the glass as things genially subside.

It smells of bready, somewhat doughy, and biscuity pale and caramel malts, a soft hard water flintiness, ethereal orchard fruit notes, and earthy, leafy, and rather prominent grassy hops. The taste is more grainy, bready pale malt, a now lessened biscuity caramel sweetness, apple and pear skin, dilute orange juice, a minor earthy flintiness, and still heady leafy, weedy, grassy, and wet hay-like noble hops (East Kent Golding throughout, apparently).

The carbonation is quite low-key in its plain-Jane frothy ministrations, the body medium-light in weight, and generally smooth, in an inoffensive mineral water sort of way. It finishes off-dry, the biscuity caramel malt doing well to persist, while the hops start to thin out, waiting eagerly to be replenished.

A rather engaging version of an 'ordinary bitter', a style not recognized here, but instead lumped into this catchall English category. Understandable, to a certain degree, given its old-world, and not quite universally revived nature, but here I am, drinking a recent example created in the northern Canadian territories, fer crying out loud. Anyways, as I was saying, a pretty flavourful brew, for something with such a low ABV.
