Pours a clear copper color with a 1/2 inch foamy tan head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is of malt/grain, butter, and some vegetal aromas. Taste is of malt/grain and some off buttery and vegetal flavors. There is a weird herbal bitterness that lingers on the palate after each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly flat mouthfeel. Overall, this is just not a very good beer all around. Some of the other Newcastle seasonal beers have been tolerable but this one is definitely at the bottom of the pack.

Can't tell whether this is a pale ale or a brown ale. Brown in color, solid one inch of head on it though. Aroma didn't hit those dry hop notes they advertised. Disappointing to come across something like Burton yeast and soggy cardboard instead.

Taste was mild sweetness. No bitterness or hop flavors. Something non offensive to have in the fridge for not beer geeks to check out.

l - pale with minimal head
S - Like burnt plastic
T - Like burnt plastic, residual malt sweetness, and adjuncts.
F- Very light, almost watery.
O - This is the only 6-pack that I've ever bought where I couldn't finish it. I have a couple full bottles as a display for this, hopefully, one-time adventure from Newcastle.
