Pouts a nice brown with an off-white to beige creamy, frothy head that has good retention and excellent lacing. Aromas of pear, figs, plums, raisins, and trace grassiness greet the nose. Flavor wise this beer starts with only moldy malty fruitiness and hints of plums, but get dried out very quickly by a hopping as that is more characteristic of a US style brown ale even though the bottle advertises a British style. On the tongue, it is medium bodied and tingly. Its lingering dry finish is a touch grassy and citrusy, while probably more balanced than most examples of the style, but not what I thought I'd be getting when I cracked the cap.
