A traditional golden pale brewed with a combination of classic British hops for bitterness & spice and US Cascade for fruity, citrus notes. We carefully blend three different malt varieties for body and the rich biscuit quality which defines the style. Brewed at a sessionalable 3.8% Westway Pale Ale is a classic cask ale brewed the West (London) way.

Taste is strawy and minimally citrusy hoppy, a touch of marmalade, gooseberry, green apple, a bitter touch of green apple parings, minimally biscuity malty basis.

On cask at the White Cross. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - light berry fruit note and then caramel. Taste - orange and caramel. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - a solid ale. Could be fresher for this style.

Cask at the Mad Bishop and Bear, Fuller’s - London. Pours clear yellow-gold with a creamy white head. Nice citrus hop aroma, some pale bread, slight pine needles, grain. Light-medium sweet flavor with low bitterness, straw, lemon rind, straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Well balanced finish with touches of honeysuckle, pale bread, crunchy hay, more citrus. Excellent golden ale.
