Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 4 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5

650 ml bottle. Lightly cloudy amber with weak white head, no lacing. Nose is a lot of toffee, caramel and a yeast note. Weak earthy hops up front in the taste, quickly fading to a mild caramel sweetness, and finishing on more toffee or caramel malt. Rather thin in body, lower carbonation. Gosh, way to sweet with an odd (not pleasing) yeasty hint.

I am glad this is not the 1st beer I ever had from this Brewer because this would not leave a good first impression at all. I hope this brewery reconsiders this recipe.

Bottle from Bert’s Fairly hazy deep golden color with a small smattering of white bubbles on top. Rich caramel and toffee maltiness on the aroma with faint earth at the edges. Flavor follows the aroma quite well. Rich toffee and caramel with a bit more earthy hop than the nose suggested. Medium body with a light level of carbonation, lingering bitterness in the finish reminds me a little of aspirin. A bit heavy on the toffee and caramel for a pale ale, might work better as an amber ale or back off the specialty cara malts. Carbonation is also a bit low but you take that gamble when you bottle condition. Decent enough beer, just not really as advertised.
