Crackenback pale ale

Pours nicely with a beautiful, cloudy golden colour. The smell has very faint hints of caramel and a touch of green from what smell like good quality hops. I haven't done any research but i don't think they are American hops as the flavour is not overly astringent.
Crackenback has the taste of pale but it is also rounded and a little soft. A lot less acidity than a Coopers pale and a bit more easy going than a Little Creatures, so it is a kind of 'user friendly' pale ale.
No one thing in the beer is overpowering and there is a really interesting hint of dark, bitter chocolate as an aftertaste.
This is a well balanced beer, given to me by my father in law, which i have enjoyed drinking.
The only thing i would say is that it could be a touch more bitter on the finnish. Instead of getting a clean, bitter taste i get a little too much round alcohol flavour. This is a very minor complaint.
Really good beer.
