Tavern Ale is top-fermented, making it an ale. It is a medium to full-bodied beer with a hoppy aroma. Tavern Ale is served unfiltered resulting in a hazy or cloudy appearance. It has a full malt finish with a well rounded bitterness. Tavern Ale is an American Pale Ale because of the large amounts of American hops which lends a distinct, almost citrusy flavor to the beer. Therefore, our Tavern Ales is quite different from the "spicy" or "herby" flavor of European hops.

12 ounce bottle from a sampler missing the front label and with a bottle date of 12/23/11, despite being purchased from a store two days ago which I know hasn’t had it since 2011. Somebody dropped the ball here. Anyway, pours a hazy copper color with lots of particulate matter. Medium sized creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toasted malts and earthy hops. The taste is bitter vegetal hops, a bit of citrus, toasted malts. Medium bodied.

Keg at the Duchess of Cambridge, London, during the American Beer Festival. Pours a mostly clear amber with a creamy, white cap. Light toasty malt aroma with mild tangy melon. Light to medium sweet flavor with some toasty malts and caramel, and light piney bitterness. Medium in body with average carbonation. Moderately sweet on the finish with faint, sticky pine, mild bread and dry caramel. It’s very basic stuff.
