Confidence is our hoppy red ale. It was brewed as a tribute to Kung Fu San Soo Grand Master Jimmy H. Woo whose motto was “You can take my life but not my confidence.” I was very fortunate to be trained by first generation Master Chuck Cory who instilled that confidence in me. I designed this red ale in respect of his red master characters. Without his influence and the positive encouragement of my family I would not have had the confidence (or insanity?!) to chase my dreams around the world. The beer has a bold ruby colour. The malt character is quite strong, with generous helpings of toffee, which is overlayed with a bitter and citric hop hit. This beer slides effortlessly past your defenses and assaults your mouth with flavour, leaving you overwhelmed. The red colour and warming character make it perfect for autumn drinking, we've therefore used to try to release it around that time annually but adapting to it's demand it has now become one of our primary cores.

Cask stillage at the Birmingham CAMRA festival 2014. Poured a murky light brown with a bubbly white head. The aroma is yeast, sweaty socks! The flavour is moderate bitter with a medicinal light aniseed hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. An interesting ale but I have had much better from Moor.

Draught @ Brewdog Shepherd’s Bush. Dark red to dark amber color, medium sized good lacing beige head. Smell and taste malts, quite bitter, a hint of spruce, quite dry in the finish. Medium body and carbonation. Quite nice.

On tap @ BrewDog Shepherds Bush. Slightly hazy copper/light brown. Decent little head. Cinnamon and muted cherry on the nose. One of those beers that starts with a refreshing sweetness, then hits you with a bitter counterattack. This isn’t terribly bitter but the change in taste profile is noticeable and quite clever. However this is a fairly average - or just above average - session beer if truth be told. Nice enough to try once.

12oz pour at Kaelderkold Barcelona pours a hazy amber with some frothy off white head. Nose is malty, caramel, orange peel, some soap. Flavor is bitter and malty, orange, cracker, bread crust, a little cola. Bitter finish. A little heavy.

(Keg at Pikkulintu, 201406025) The beer poured brown and quite clear. Its head was small and almost white. Aroma had fruitiness, caramel and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, buttery toffee, malts, pine, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, fruity and bitter. A well-done brew with a pleasant hop profile.
