Draft at the brewpub. A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet matly with notes of caremel as well as light notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and alcohol, leading to a dry bitter finish. NW and NZ hops and 6.5% ABV in an English Style ale - I don’t get it.

From bottle #20 at sk8vikings American blind tasting. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Mild orange to grapefruity hopy aroma. Flavour starts milds sweet and quite hoppy fruity. Goes into a slight more dry and hoppy flavour following this. Hoppy and slight bitter finish yet still nicely fruity.

bottle - Pours light amber and mostly clear with a one finger head. The aroma has some light caramel malt, citrus hops, and some other fruit esters. The caramel malt flavor has a pretty good hops balance, a medium body, and a fairly mild, dry finish. There’s a bit of alcohol noticeable. The hops isn’t as crisp as I would like. Still it’s a fairly solid brew.
