Classic style of a British Bitter. Clean, crisp and aromatic with a subtle balance between malt and hops - a local favorite.

Pint at Federal Jacks or whatever, pours a clear amber, ring of white head. Nose has grist and malt and black tea, some orange. Flavor has orange then all malt and grist. Really not a pale ale at all. Finishes a bit flabby with some decent carbonation that helped pick it up.

Draught @ the source. Clear golden yellow with no head, very faint citrus aroma, medium carbonation, mildly bitter taste with piney flavor, thin body, medium finish. Meh.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a clear copper/gold body with a one finger white foamy head. It left minimal lacing and left no rings. Carbonation slowly rose.
The smell had some light caramel with some malts.
The taste was sweet through the malts and caramel. No hops was tasted even after the beer warmed a bit.
On the palate, it sat about a medium that had a good drinkability to it.
Overall, this was a good beer to me, but with the malts and caramel coming out so strong, I’m just wondering if this beer is more of an English Pale Ale.

2004 draught at KBC in ME. Pours a light coppery/straw golden yellow. Small white head. Aroma is crisp, yet quite hoppy and lightly metallic. Flavor has hints of grain and a very high bitterness for the relatively lacking malt aspect. Drank it down quickly, but it just didnt have any balance or interesting aspects. Good medium to medium full body, but just to americanized pale ale tasting. This tastes nothing like an english bitter. Way too hoppy/metallic/acidic.

Copper-coloured; Earthy, butterscotchy palate and aroma. Slight grassiness. Simplistic rating for a simplistic brew.
