Beer-a-Day #342 
Our interpretation of a classic English beer style is copper-colored, medium-bodied and highly hopped. Its flavor is delightfully complex: tangy fruit at the start, with an assertive hop crispness and a long malty palate that one well-known beer writer has compared to the flavor of freshly-baked bread.
Brown with some golden highlights and an off-white head. Fruity aroma, like pineapple, and a little floral. I know that this has won a bunch of awards, but it seems a bit off-balanced to me, at least at first. As I get deeper into the glass I’m digging the bite of the hops in the finish.
