This American Amber Ale is a Hoppy and Caramel flavored American style craft ale. The first smell delivers a sweet caramel malt background with a blast of citrus and tropical fruit aroma from the Citra and Cascade Hops. The flavor follows suit and a pleasant lightly lingering citrus bitternes mellows with the malt to the end.

High Wycombe House Warming. Thanks to Wingman. Hazy deep gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, dry and has decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, trace of dry cream. Light sweetish floral mid. Mild sherbetty candy fruits. Light finish, Interesting but probably not what was intended.
