A malty, dark amber hued ale that is quite sessionable. While a nice balance of flavors, it leans toward the malty side of tasting. Crisp and clean with notes of fruit and earthiness from the British hops and yeast.

On tap at brewery:
This beer came to me more as a Dark Mild ale, with some aspects similar to a brown ale. Maybe the pale ale moniker is a marketing tool, but ignoring the style debate, this was a smooth, mild offering with a toasty, slightly burnt caramel flavor.
An interesting beige sea foam head covers most of the surface here, with fits and spots of lace. The body is far from pale, more like a clear brown ale.
Nose has a mix of dry attic and a toasty brown ale. The taste brings out the medium toast, a hint of metallic notes (common fir me with British yeast and/or hops), and the right level of bitterness to keep the beer malty but not sweet.
This just does not seem like a pale ale to me, but I like it. I think it’d go up a notch or two to style if it were “properly” styled (my ego check is in the quotes). I want to try this on cask, perhaps with a little extra hops added in for some fun.
