On tap at the brewpub. Poured a hazy gold with a thin white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had light pine notes with accompanying grass and floral notes. Flavor was a bit more bitter with pine hops with grass and hay underlying.

Draft @ Arbor Brew Co. First beer with fish & chips meal. This newbie’s first ever bitter style. Very similar taste to my IPA experience (hoppy), yet different. Malt balancing hops? I would have enjoyed another, but wanted to sample other offerings.

Tap at the brewpub - clear golden beer - a very authentic bitter, with the hard water mineral character to make you feel like your all the way across the pond - nice and dry, with moderate bitterness that becomes more apparent as it warms - light bread and dough - nice session beer.

Sample at the brewpub: This brew is a cloudy golden color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Slick lacing. Aroma of citrus, hops and toasted malt. Medium body and on the hoppy side, with notes of citrus and grainy malt mixed in. The finish is moderately bitter and leaves a flavorful hops aftertaste. This is a pretty good start to the sampling spectrum for this brewpub, especially considering the beer is less than 4%ABV.
