14/3/2024. Can bought in the US and shared by DanF in London. Cheers! Pours clear bright amber with a bubbly white head. Aroma is malty, stewed fruits, hoppy, bready, light rubbery resin. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, slightly oily, average carbonation. Better than expected.

750 ml oil can. The aroma and flavor are a match. Soft, toasted grain, cereal, with a mild mineral hint. For a 5.5 % weak pale ale it’s not terrible.
Amber colored pour. Thick tan head. Wonderful malt flavor with nutty palate. Lovely.....

Another of my reviews that RB has lost. Ale version of their lager: slightly deeper in color, fuller in body and a bit sweeter.
Golden with a thin white head. Malty, acerbic aroma. Taste is fairly full bodied, dominated by malt with a little grassiness. Palate is much of the same, acerbic rice malt. Meh.

750 ml can into pint glass, best before 8/20/2018. Pours slightly hazy deep golden/orange/amber/light copper color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of honey, white bread dough, and toasted biscuit; with light notes of caramel, nuttiness, lemon, pear, apple, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with bready malt and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of honey, white bread dough, and toasted biscuit; with light notes of caramel, nuttiness, lemon, pear, apple, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of honey, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, caramel, nuttiness, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness of bready malt and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 5.5%. Overall this is a very good English pale ale. All around nice robustness of bready malt and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Very clean and nicely rich bready English malt flavors; restrained fruity yeast, and solid earthy hop balance. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. One of the better ones I've had.
