Below average pale ale. Slight aroma of hops. Pours copper with a little lacing. Not really very serious of a pale ale. It’s more pale than ale. On tap at brewpub.

Tap @ brewpub. Transparent orange appearance with a white head. Sweet orange, caramel malty, nice hoppy nose. Citrusy hoppy, toffee malty flavor. Pretty nice.

Rerate from tap: Tap at Swans. Hazy golden, creamy offwhite head. Mild fruity, light hop balance with a dry grassy edge, some hidden grain. Light, but surprisingly chewy. No epiphany, but quite pleasant. Old rating: 6 4 6 3 11. Light citric cascade on straw. Golden, white head. Light sticky straw, grassy citric, straw flavour. Dusty aftertaste, quite sticky. Ok chewyness.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours golden. Fairly standard pale malt and mild hops - balanced pale. Nothing special.

Draught at the brewpub
Golden color, nice lace. Very light caramel aroma. It has a smooth caramel flavor and a correct bitterness, but too little interest, for example the hops barely find their way through. Undaring.

Light amber colour. Lifeless appearance - no carbonation to speak of. Fairly light in flavour. Surprisingly bland, I found myself struggling to notice anything at all about this beer.
