20oz tap..probably closer to 16oz poured. Unfiltered orange-tan, big steady beige head. Classic English hop aroma. Rather watery in body, thin and lacking depth. Toasty, mellow citrus hop balance. Tastes like the mall IPA it is, pretty unimpressive.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. As "Duke Of Wellington Pale Ale". Clear amber color with a lovely big off-white head. Aroma of hops, maybe slightly stale, with citric, earthy and piney notes, and some malt, a bit caramelly and grainy. Later whiffs are more malty with light buttery notes. Sweetish malt flavor, grainy and caramelly, with light fruitiness and a moderately bitter hoppy finish. Medium-bodied. Pretty decent.

Pour is a cloudy bronze with a large white head. Aroma is slight hops if you use your imagination, also some caramel malt. Flavor is almost nothing. I’ve had a few pale lagers that I can say taste like water but it’s rare I have a ale with nothing going on. Maybe a dirty malt and that’s about it.

Draft at GC Rockford. Pours a cloudy dark amber with a small head. Aroma of pine hops and caramel. Taste is light bitter. Citrus hops. Medium bodied with a thin texture. Lively carbonation and an average finish. Overall, it’s ok. Batch 1000 is much better.

Sample at the Day Before Labor Day party, from a growler. This beer is a cloudy dark orange color with a thin off-white head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Mild hops aroma with notes of pine. Medium body with a moderately bitter hops flavor with notes of pine and citrus. Very little malt balance. The finish is hoppy with a short bitter aftertaste. Just average overall.
