Tasting Notes
Malty backgrounbd, slight caramel, firm bitterness, earthy and floral hops
More balanced than an American IPA, malty background, a slight caramel flavor, firm bitterness and an earthy and floral hop aroma and flavor. A nice English pub beer - a great balance between easy drinking and interesting.

Won the silver medal in English beers at the 2016 Bluegrass Cup last weekend.
