Supplier: Beers of Europe
This is one of their year-round pale ales; for it they use non-US malts and whole flower American hops. Named after their water source which is just over a dozen miles from them. I served this after a couple minutes out of the fridge.

Appearance: A frosty golden amber colour with a thin off-white head that lasts for a medium length.
Aroma: A lovely mix of hops and honey, with honey comb coming out at the end.
Flavour: Again, hops and honey on the front before the taste of refreshing carbonated water on the back.
Body: A nice solid but refreshing body, maybe a tad too much carbondation
Aftertaste: The hops and honey flavours come back but the come with a bitter rubber taste that isn't too pleasant, luckily this rubber taste dies down a bit with drinking.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, not sure if that rubber taste is usually there but it brings it down from a 7 because it is quite unpleasant, it does go down with drinking, but the other flavours do as well.
Price Range: £2.39 for a 355ml bottle, an OK price, I would try it again to see if that rubber taste is still there.
Food Pairings: A savory dish not strong in taste and bready; maybe a simple ham sandwich, or just a packet of crisps.
