This session brew was crafted to be a true palate pleaser without compromise. English pale and caramel malts surrender their burnished golden hues and soft sweetness to the beer, while German-style Munich malt provides a delightful toasted malt complexity, and roasted oatmeal contributes its silky smooth texture and nutty flavor.

12 oz bottle from P.P.B. Nice malty sniff under the cap. Pours a dark amber color under a finger's width of foam. Malt nose subsides once it's in the glass. Taste is pretty decent; though the confines of the style wouldn't let it be anything spectacular. Sweetish malt, but there's a side of bitter American hops keeping it range. A likeable house beer.

Thanks Mike, this was poured into an English pint glass.
The appearance was a burnt orange to copper color with a thin film of a little white head. Sly messy lace.
The aroma had some earthy to grassy hops up front with a gentle biscuit to caramel/toffee malt base. Just a touch of floral hops slightly in the backbone.
The flavor was malty dry with some of the earthiness riding in to spike the finish slightly spicy as I didn’t mind this.
The feel was between light and medium bodied with a low carbonation about it. ABV felt as projected.
Overall, pretty good as a mild ale, probably with some fish n’ chips if I ever have it again.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear yellow with a gold hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy grains with a light wood note and some straw underlying. Flavor has a touch of biscuit with straw and grain as the backbone.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours lightly hazy orange copper color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of caramel, toast, biscuit, light nuttiness, pear, apple, herbal, floral, grass, light pepper, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of dark/bready malt, earthy hops, and yeast ester notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, toast, biscuit, light nuttiness, herbal, floral, grass, light pepper, light pear/apple, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Slight earthy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, biscuit, light nuttiness, herbal, floral, grass, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice balance of dark/bready malt, earthy hops, and light-moderate yeast ester flavors; with good robustness and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, and lightly bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice English mild style. Good balance of malt, hop, and yeast ester flavors with good robustness; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Draft at the brewpub, Paw Paw. Murky orange-brown body, medium creamy tight head. Light biscuity, grassy, slightly tart nose. Body soft, nutty, and grainy with herbals hops and light citrus. Light and refreshing with a good flavor profile.
