Last year Angelo brewed his take on a modern beer, showcasing modern hops and brewing techniques. This beer is a retrospective focus on his early days of craft beer and what inspired him as a brewer. With nearly 100 IBUs It’s unapologetically bitter, reminiscent of the styles coming out of California then, San Diego in particular. It was brewed using Pale malt and a small amount of Munich malt as a base, Columbus hops as the first wort (bittering) addition, Chinook & Centennial in the Whirlpool and then dry hopped exclusively with Centennial. Expect a medley of fruit salad backed with pine and a crisp bitterness balanced by the malt and higher ABV.

Can. Just a mild haze on this orange gold beer, a decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, slightly thin and a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Thin bodied pale malts, a pretty modest sweetness. Centennial front and centre. Tangy bitterish citrus, a ripe lemon streak and a fair Earl Grey tea vibe. Juicy citrus peel, naturally turning bitter. A fairly light finish leaves a long tangy bitter linger. Satisfyingly old school west coast whilst thankfully eschewing all the caramel malt bollocks that was redolent at one point.

Can at Beer House, Hereford Saturday 28th February 2026 in the company of Baz. Only just realised that this was brewed by Ange' , it's fantastic 😍. Bitter, resinous, soft mouthfeel, tastes very easy drinking for the abv. Streaky citrus and pine, this is brilliant. Score 8.4
