Default Fantastic Ale

Last night I had a bottle of "Tanner's Jack" ale, imported from England.

MAGNIFICENT!
It's sort of a golden ale, but no fruity tones, just a nice smooth malt taste and perfect hopping (little bitterness, but lovely aroma and clean hop finish).

I highly recommend it if you can ever find it.

You're not alone! I have not heard of this ale before, but it looks to be the same brewery that brews Old Speckled Hen, which we can get here in the US. I have to assume I can find this locally!

I just had one last night. Not too shabby, but I probably won't be springing for a 6 pack anytime soon.

I wish we could get English beers fresher over here.

How could you tell the difference? J/K now that the Brits are increasing their numbers I certainly wouldn't want to invoke their ire. I didn't really care for it either, but I have odd tastes at time.
