Very fresh hop aroma - slightly grassy and herbal, even almost citric. Very firm thick foamy head on top of a bright copper-gold ale. Flavor was brimming with deep fruity notes and a lingering bitter finish. Definite buttery notes - great use of yeast here. Excellent smooth mouthfeel.

I found this to be on the thin and watery side for a beer clearly intended to be a hoppy british style pale. Amazingly, for a hoppy beer in a brown bottle, it was also very slightly skunky in both flavor and aroma. Too pale in color, with no character in its appearance (with even a greenish tint). A drinkable beer but overall a disappointment.
