A: Dark amber almost orange very clear little head not long lasting S: baked biscuit with herbal or piney hop presence T: biscuit or slight burnt toast malts combine nicely with the hops providing a lingering piney note on the back end especially. good balance, nice tasting pale ale M: light medium bodied. slightly below average carbonation. finishes with clean bitterness. nice and not overwhelming at any stage O:a very good, inoffensive ale. not much really stands out but thats probably good as this is a very tasty and drinkable brew. i like it and would buy it again

Absolutely simple aroma - caramel and remains of hops. The flavour is also caramel sweetness and some hops, moderate bitter finish. Clean. Simple. Bland.

Bottle at home split with Sarah, picked up a GBBF 2014. Golden orange coloured pour, mostly clear, with a lasting sticky loose white head. Aroma is sweet caramel malts, with some grassy cascade hops, light pine needles. Flavour is composed of nutty, light caramel base malts with nice wet grass and berry fruits. Nicely balanced malts and hops. Palate is semi sweet and moderate carbonation. Very drinkable. Could see myself drinking a few pints of this. Lingering grassy and lemon hop with a little caramel.

bottle - Pours lightly hazy orange with a one finger head. It smells of floral hops and caramel malt. Medium bodied and moderately hopped, it’s a tasty, slightly above average craft brew.

On tap @ The Mayor of Old Town. Pours a golden orange appearance with a white head. Peach, stone fruity aroma with some grassy, herbal notes. Slightly sweet flavor with some bubblegum notes and lots of apricots and melon. Ok.
