We like to keep our Pale Ale malt bill nice and simple. This is mostly Maris Otter Pale Ale malt with just a hint of CaraMalt and Torrified Wheat lend a beautiful fluffy head.
Our Malt comes from Warminster Maltings, a traditional Victorian floor malt house just down the road in Wiltshire. They produce the finest malts available and are a thoroughly nice bunch. This beer is a showcase for the US hop Simcoe. Usually rife in India Pale Ales, it adds aromas of peach and flavours of warm stone fruit to this single hop pale ale. Bred in the heart of hop country by Yakima Chief Ranches in the famous American Yakima hop valleys, Simcoe is incredibly versatile across aroma, flavour and bittering. Intense pine and woody aromas add to the fresh fruit notes of this showcase for a beautifully complex hop.
Fermented with Safale S-05 yeast

Bottle shared at Chriso’s mid-week lasting 03/07/14. Hazed golden orange coloured pour with a halo of white head. Aroma is midget gems, mixed fruit punch, and a zip of lemon zest. Flavour is lemon, clean yeast profile, midget gems and tropical fruits. Good clean base malt backbone. Palate is soft carbonation, grainy and yeasty, Good beer.

Bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy, lumpy, orangey, amber. Film of sticky, white head. Sweet, jammy malt. Red fruit. Dark plum. Some ripe banana, but not to any detriment. Taste is fusty sweet to start, before a chewy, grapefruit bitterness. Slightly cloying on the palate, but this is a tasty beer. Toffee sweet finish, with just enough bitterness to lend balance. Lots of oomph.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol, April 2014. Deep gold with a slight haze and decent, white head. Aroma of passion fruit, pine and tangerines. Solid malt base, with more tropical fruits and resin, before a lengthy, bitter finish. Good beer.
