English Pale Ale
Three Needs Brewery & Taproom

The beer is a medium, unassuming orange copper. Attractive color, with almost no head to speak of. Just a thin, broken collar. It's an english style pale ale, so I'm not sweating the lack of head too much. Good clarity, with a couple lonely bubbles floating up.
The aroma is nicely balanced, in the english style, with a biscuity maltiness balancing some floral, hay-like british hops, maybe fuggles. Faintly estery, with a whiff of pear. Some mashy graininess to the malt, although it retains a soft, smooth quality overall. The aroma is somewhat lacking due to the absence of any head, and the smoky bar-room conditions.
The flavor starts out very smooth and easy going, with a laid back biscuity, toasty maltiness. Some peach and pear fruitiness slides through, carrying through the finish with mild, supporting hops. Herbal and slightly grassy, I'm guessing some fuggles in here. Just a touch of citrus suggests fresh goldings. A mild malty aftertaste, with some fruitiness carrying through. Very smooth, easy drinking stuff, with slow, rolling carbonation supporting the medium body.
Solid stuff, this is a session ale if I've ever drank a beer. I'm betting the malt will really come into it's own with cask conditioning and some oakiness. Not hugely complex, but it nails it where it counts.
