Draught at the brewery; 5.5% ABV
Golden color, clean. Smells a bit of paper and vegetables, and light manure (6-). The flavor is better, mild biscuity malts, dry mouthfeel (6+); the hopping is mild, it brings some herbaceous and some resiny notes, and enough bitterness, but more hop quality is expected.
Average Pale Ale, easily forgotten.

Golden-amber, thin head. The nose has a light hoppy note, sort of wet and then some heavier pale malts. Bitter, but then stale centennial like it’s picked up back of fridge character.

On tap at Faculty, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out light piney notes, backed by dry biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with light piney hops and dry biscuity malt. Not overly ambitious, but the hop variety comes out nice. Not bad.
