Smooth and easy drinking, this bitter pale ale is inspired by the US craft beer boom using four hop varieties, and has a light citrus taste.

Decent easy drinkable pale ale.
Nice clear deep golden color with a off white head. Dotted lacing. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium body and an ok carbonation. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Citric, toffee, fruity and malty flavor.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 29/10/2014. Amber coloured with a slight, off-white head. Sweet, caramel notes, a touch of citrus fruit and some leafy hops, before a decent, bitter, finish. Good.

pint from the Royal Hop Pole, Tewkesbury. Clear amber colour, with a thin off-white head. The aroma is citrus with some malts. The taste isn’t that hoppy, but has bit of citrus hoppiness and some caramel. A bit disappointed.
