Far from being jade coloured, this beer celebrates the beauty of the German Carafa barley malt that gives it a warm bronze colour without making it heavy or sweet. The clear palate is ideal to enjoy the full spiciness from the versatile New Zealand, Pacific Jade hops.

cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 28/07/2011. Reddish-amber with a slight, off-white. Hoppy, pine resin, citrus and red fruit aroma with a touch of caramel sweetness. Flavour had some fruity malts and orange character, leading to a resinous and very bitter finish. Good.

Cask@The Duke Of Wellington, London. Very deep amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is caramel malts, wood, some syrup as well as some mild syrupy notes. Flavour is nutty, fruity, syrupy and mildly spicy. Aftertaste is mainly nutty and quite floral.
