CB's English Pale Ale
Appearance: Pours a clear amber color; very good retention from the head and a nice pattern of lace is left behind Smell: Toasted bread with a hint of butterscotch and earthy hops Taste: Bready, up front, with a layer of butterscotch arriving in the middle, along with the tea-like, herbaceous hops; after the swallow, the butterscotch lingers on the palate, though the overall effect is somewhat bitter Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation Drinkability: A decent EPA and while diacetyl is not inappropriate for the style, there is just a bit too much butterscotch for my preference Thanks, sliverx, for the opportunity
