Orange coloured. Light bodied, full flavoured and well balanced. I wish my notes were better on this one...

Robust English interpretation with a lot more malt than the name would suggest - very earthy. Hops more a factor in the bitterness than aroma.

A nicely balanced pale ale that is aggressively hopped yet with a firm malt base (as accurately described on the label). The main defect is was the presence of some off-tastes that i couldn't really identify but were there nonetheless.
