Some rust like outdoor screwheads. Pours - this tastes more like an amber than a pale ale. Light bitter finish with some tang. Bottle.

Pour is a clear copper with a large white head. Aroma is sweet malt maybe a little toffee but definitely light on hops. Flavor is watery as a ale could be. No hop presence and very little malt as well. This is poorly made. I don’t think AB would come out with a pale ale as bad as this.

Draft. Light toffee malt and straw aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet toffee malt and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body. A straight forward but overall pleasant, easy drinking beer.
