Dark colour for a Pale Ale, mild smell. Decent taste with a good somewhat hoppy aftertaste. A good beer to try. Sampled on Tap at MacGregor's in Rochester, New York.

Sampled draught at Fox & Hound, Richardson, Texas.
Nut brown. Fruity, ashy, sweet and roasty. Medium bodied with mellow mouthfeel. A touch of syrup in the bitterish finish.

Bottle. This beer has a bright golden hue to it and a decent size head that leaves quickly. Taste has a good chewy hop flavor, reminds me of apple crisp (oats and apples). No hints of alcohol with the slightly higher than average ABV. Great amount of carbonation (very little) for the bottle. A solid EPA.

Nothing earth-shattering going on here. Very nice amber color and medium head, but the flavor was a little on the bland side, there was very little hops to keep it interesting throughout.

Re-rate from a better sampling. (Cincinnati brewed bottle). Dark reddish color, with amber tinge, full head. Nice looking beer. English ale yeast fruitiness in aroma with moderate earthiness and caramel malt notes (Maris Otter?). Well balanced flavor, with full nutty caramel malts and nice backing bitterness. Low on hop flavors. Smooth. Well done pale ale and quite drinkable.
