Classic English Pale Ale, although, in England this is usually simply going to be referred to as “Bitter” by most folks, it has a classic pale orange body, with some cloudiness, lots of sediment, a small head and some lacing.
Rounded, soft malts in the mouth with a dry, but creamy hop finish. Obvious session qualities. As expected, mild bitterness is the featured experience. Burton water comes through strong and the combination of Fuggles and Goldings meld beautifully.
Not a patch on a hand-pulled cask version, but decent enough – you have to take what you can get in the “cask-starved” USA.
