Classic English pale ale. Crafted with a base of Maris Otter accentuated by English crystal malts and seasoned like Gordon Ramsay with East Kent Goldings for a balanced malt and hop profile. *Chef's kiss*

Light haze on the dark amber body under a large off white head that yielded good lacing. Malt focused aroma with notes of caramel, brown bread and soft fruit. Earthy taste as the hops become more prominent while balancing the sweetness. Dry, medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel.

Pours a murky reddish brown. Smell is of earthy hops and malt. The hops dominate but don't overpower any other flavors. Good mouthfeel and carbonation. Very good beer.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours deep red with a small off white head. Smells of sweet fruit and some citrus notes. Tastes of caramelized grain with bright fruit and citrus and grassy hop notes. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

16 oz can poured into a tulip pint glass. Pours light brown with a large, fluffy off-white head. Aroma and flavor feature clean malt, hints of caramel and cocoa, and earthy hops. Just marvelous flavor. Mouthfeel is full, smooth, and creamy. Overall an awesome beer and a true pleasure to drink. Delicious.
