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 at the Euston Tap, 18/06/14. Murky orange amber with a moderate beige covering, just scrapes a 3 despite it looking like a #2 (water effect). Nose is earthy hops, pine, candied orange peel, sprucey, caramel malt. Taste comprises juicy hops, pine sprinkle, earthy tones, bitter grapefruit rinse, caramac bar, orange pith. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, hop bitterness in a drying close. Decent enough hoppy amber, despite not being a looker!

Bouteille 66cl de et partagée avec Giorgio @ Il Pretesto. Cuivrée-acajou, col blanc cassé. Arôme de houblons UK, malts spéciaux, léger caramel, notes de grains au caractère anglais. Bouquet houblonné agréable, fruité et herbacé sur des notes vertes et citronnées. Palais est malté, légèrement grillé, amertume typique anglaise avec une pointe de pâle. Amertume en fin de bouche avec un petit épicé rappelant Willamette et Cascade sur un léger fleuri. Citronné et pamplemousse, un peu huileuse et tropicale.
