Tap at Craft Hands. Pours a deep orange to brown with a small half-finger beige head of foam that lingers. Soft tea-like aromas with some light sugar and malty notes. Body is very tea-like with some sweetness on the palate. Well-rounded and balanced, but a little too boring for me style-wise. Finish is fruity with a sweet taste that dissipates fairly quickly on the palate. --- Beer merged from original tick of Iwate Kura Classical Pale Ale on 10 Dec 2015 at 19:46 - Score: 6

Pours dark brown with no head into a tall shaker. The nose shows a sweet tea forwardness. The palate shows a tea forwardness that is slightly sweet but for the most party, dry. Light carbonation and medium bodied, a very British style Pale Ale with lots of malts on the finish.

As Fresh Hop Classical Pale Ale. 4.5% 28 IBU and apparently made for the Spring Valley fresh hop event. On tap at Molto. A nice orange-gold with brown highlights & beige head. The minty fruity hop bouquet is really nice. The taste is very earthy then you get a sweet hit. Quite good. Seeing it listed as a Bitter makes more sense than Pale Ale.

Tap at Bungalow. Nose of tobacco, grass, leaves. Uk hops all the way. Light caramel. Lovely, deep reddish brown color with a fine, low head. Nice nutty UK malt flavor, biscuit, a bit of caramel, great hops, tobacco and leaves. Oily palate and nice bitterness.
