a-copper to dark amber, little head due to the bartender wanting to pour a full glass.
a-low hopsy,more spicy/malty alcohol scent.
t-closer to an amber ale than anything.good malt flavor with some hops, probably due to the malt.
d- diffenately a drinkable ale.

From their web site:
Our brewers have returned to the traditional English method of fermenting ales in firkins. Hand pulled through an English beer engine, these ales are served at cellar temperature of 52F. Ask a server what is currently on tap!
My review:
This was a real treat and completely unexpected.
Appearance: Mid to dark amber; thin head but nice lace; clear
Smell: Slight sweet malt; a touch of hops
Taste: Nice blend of nutty caramel malts followed by a balanced hop bitterness. This was one of the more complex bitters that I've had.
Mouthfeel: Potent alcohol lingering in the aftertaste; Surprisingly dry considering the sweetish aroma.
This was a very nice and easily drinkable English Bitter. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
