Gale Force Four is more commonly known as a 'moderate breeze'. Nothing blustery about this hoppy-bitter, perhaps a tad watery, but easy-going nevertheless with its bitterness the more prominent aspect of the aforementioned.

Aroma is sweetish with peach and hints of hay. Flavour is dry with hay, some peach and hops. The bitterness is quite harsh here. Somewhat watery, quite typical and easy to forget.
