Pint draft at Pizza Pilgrims in London, England. Pours a crystal-clear gold color with a small white head and great retention. Decent lacing. Light hops aroma. As expected, pale malt flavor up front, with light hops notes and a drying finish. Smooth and clean. Medium body and medium carbonation. Light to moderate soft bitterness. Good for the style.

50ml bottle from Waitrose, in Bath, England. Pours a clear pale yellow-gold with a bright white head and good retention. Decent lacing. Lots of streaming carbonation. White bread and malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Sweet white bread and malt flavor throughout. Clean and smooth. Medium body. Lighter than expected carbonation. Low bitterness. Nice Helles.

440ml can from a deli in Llangollen, Wales, UK. Pours a cloudy orange-bronze color with an off-white head and good retention. Very good lacing. Hoppy aroma. Initial light caramel notes up front, followed by moderate hops in the finish, yet not bitter. Smoother than most red ales, yet it is still hoppier than I prefer. Medium body and low, soft carbonation. Light bitterness.

330ml bottle at Honest Burgers restaurant in London, England. It pours a crystal clear pale gold color with a white head and great retention. Very hoppy aroma. This has more hoppy flavor than bitter, which isn't my scene. Definitely an American hoppy style versus a British pale ale. It's a medium body. Medium carbonation and medium bitterness. Not my favorite beer. At least it's cold. A little too hoppy for me.

Pint can at Honest Burgers restaurant in London, England. It pours a crystal clear yellow-gold color with virtually no head. Dry apple cider aroma. This tastes way too dry for me. Tastes like champagne mixed with apple juice. Not my kind of cider. Thin body. Medium carbonation. No bitterness.

Festival pint at Hole In The Wall pub, in London, England. Cask pour. It pours a mostly clear gold color with a small white head and good retention. Hoppier than anticipated aroma. Thankfully, this pale ale flavor is not as hoppy tasting as the aroma. Like a lot of the cask ales, it's pretty mellow overall. It's also fairly "British warm." Medium-light body. Low carbonation as expected for a cask pour. Light to moderate bitterness, but it's a soft bitterness. Overall, the taste is decent, but sadly, the higher serving temperature is a bit of a turn-off.
