8.3/10 Appearance 9 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 9 Overall 8
On tap at the brewery.
Appearance: semi-dark brown color with a bar pour's kind of head sat atop and dissipated finely to leave disappearing lace
Aroma: rich nutty maltiness, earthy character, caramel/toffee tones
Flavor: wraps the previously mentioned aromas up sweetly with a touch of fruity yeasty semi-sweetness. Subtle nutty/caramel aftertaste
Texture: almost medium bodied but just a touch under, sessionable, nutty to caramel finish
Overall: the brewery classifies this as an English brown ale and I can see it, I believe I could have this again. I do like the fact that this beer is a cleaned up version of an old style (no diacetyl).

8/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
On tap at the brewery.
Appearance: muddy orange color with a bar pour's kind of head, which slid off to leave barely any lace
Aroma: that classic old school English hops - kinda grassy, earthy and leafy then clean cracker/biscuity malts
Flavor: malty biscuity/breadiness with hops acting like a normal British pale ale; that muted bready/hoppy aftertaste excluding the soapiness I remember having with the old school British pale ales
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, smooth malty finish
Overall: not everyone is going to like this, but it is definitely the old school British pale ale just cleaned up more - no diacetyl and soapiness. Pass the fish n' chips!
