Tap at the brewery tasting room - this is a solid brew, and a nice hybrid of english bitter and american pale ale - the hops are assertive and spicy, but not overpowering - they allow the malt and yeast room to generate flavors of buttered toast, light nutty sweetness, and moderate fruity esters through the middle - the hops merely bookend these flavors - medium-bodied, but quite sessionable - finishes crisp, but with some lingering bready maltiness - quite good.
