Scarecrow Ale from Wychwood Brewery Company Ltd
Rating: C
Appearance: Paler in color than I was expecting from something classified as an English Pale Ale on BA - looks almost like a Kolsch, very golden in color. Looks very boring.
Smell: Aroma is light, hints of English hops and a little ale fruitiness, but not much. Weak.
Taste: I found this department a bit surprising - more bitter than I expected (expectations were low, granted) and with some flavor. English hops, some diacetyl, and some pear flavors present. Bitterness might be a touch harsh - perhaps because only Target (a high alpha variety) was used.
Mouthfeel: Light, but not quite to the point of watery.
Drinkability: Not bad, but either mis-classified or not to-style, in my opinion.
Serving type: bottle
