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.

Keg at the Slaughtered Lamb - London. Pours cloudy, red-brown with a big and super tight tan cream cap. Rich tropical fruit aroma, lots of pine too, some melon, orange. Medium sweet flavor with ripe and juicy and citrusy hops, melon, mango, orange, papaya, lightly toasted grass. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous in the finish with loads more juicy and ripening fruits, citrus and tropical, light berries, sturdy malts underneath. Great stuff.

Cask, Philarmonic, Liverpool. Chestnut brown looks with minimal head. Earthy malts, dark fruits and nuts in the nose. Similarly malt led, slightly sweet flavour. Hoppage a bit too restrained. Drinkable but ultimately forgettable.

On tap at the Magpie. Hazy amber beer, bubbly off white head. Light semi dry palate. Moderate carbonation. Light orangey hop which is little bitter and quite tangy. Finishes semi dry with medium bitterness. Solid if too dry.

Cask at the Turf, 2008. Deep amber / reddish color. Dry earthy aroma with a bit of caramel. Like a very hoppy amber ale. Well balanced with fruit. Rather sweet, with caramel, earth, hops. Very well done.
