beer_name: Apparition Ale
text: Served in a modified imperial pint, the beer is a hazy bronze with a skim of beige foam. The aroma is of lightly roasted malts, something sweet like brown sugar and a bit of pine. The beer has an earthy with moderate hops bitterness. I like the notes of toffee and pine. I would classify this more as an ESB than an English IPA. Smooth silky mouth. Easy drinker, I had two. Fits the bill of a session beer.
