Hazed golden colour with a creamy-froth slightly off-white head, decent lasting with some good lace. Mildly burnt hay aromas with light hops. The taste is grainy with a little sweetness. The hops are pretty low. Just like their 360 Ale I just had, seems like a bit of burnt grain with the hops. Other than that, not much else in this one.

First from this brewery for me. Pours a hazy amber colour with some golden hue. Head is nice, warm, creamy, good retention and covers the glass with lacing. Fruity malt aromas giving orange notes with some light burnt wood and grassy hops. Fruity malt taste start with a mild bitter hoppy finish. A decent creamy English Pale ale.

This "logger" poured a light Amber colour with a creamy, off white head. Scents include grassy hops, corn and cream. First swig was a little thin with medium carbonation and flavours of grassy hops and malt. Finish is medium bitter with an old beer flavour lingering...

This ale poured a medium Amber colour with a nice, big, cream coloured head. Scents include citrus, cream, allspice? and a little dough. First swig was smooth and somewhat creamy with minimal carbonation. Flavours of grassy hops and malt most prominent. Finish is bitter with malt flavours lingering.

Draft - Sweet citrus and pale malts. Clear gold with a decent head. Hoppy bitterness and pale malts. You don't get the hop flavours you smell, but I don't expect any in an English style.
