Really attractive dark orange color, nice frothy head with some lacing and some retention.

Good, citrus based hops in the nose and the initial tastes, that give way to some nice smooth character and a sting in the long finish. A little smoky aftertaste.

Very drinkable, and a solid mouthfeel that is substantial enough to make you feel like you are having a beer. Seems to drink above the advertised 5.5% ABV.

Rounded and satisfying, a nice experience. Good solid example of the style, being true to the original English version. Not massive, just well crafted.
