Oakham Ales have a stellar reputation for brewing excellence and are a firm favourite of the brewery team here, making them a natural partner for this collaboration. Together we’ve brewed a standout American Pale Ale, fermented on our Union set. Using the finest Maris Otter malt as a base, we’ve used a classic combination of the best US hops to give bold flavours of zesty citrus, fresh pine and a touch of tropical fruit.

25th September 2025, third of a pint at the Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival. Clean and clear golden amber body, white affair on top. Pleasing aroma of fruity goodness and malts, taste a fine blend of citrus/tropical fruits, maltiness and piney traces, nice, easy drinking beer.

Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a mellow citrus hop and a touch of caramel malt aroma. Smooth with a little kick ahead of citrus bitterness, delicate sweet caramel biscuit malt and a dry bitter finish.
