Rather than marking the end of summer, Autumn Dawn is all about celebrating the beginning of the golden season - it's a beautiful time on the Isle of Man, especially on the western shores, with those spectacular sunrises and sunsets inspiring this pure ale. If you could capture the taste of the Autumn sun, then it is in a glass of Autumn Dawn.

A full bodied light golden-brown beer. A fairly lightly hopped beer but with however a distinct citric aroma and pronounced fruity hop afternotes.

Ingredients: PA Malt, crystal and amber malt, Ist Copper Hops First Gold 2nd Late Hop Hallertau, Brewer's Gold and Styrian Goldings.

Cask at The Cleveland Arms, London. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Weak aroma, subtle straw and white sugar. Light sweet flavor, mild biscuits, faint bitterness of straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly bland finish, light sweetness and even lighter bitterness. Still some hay, biscuits, crackers. Not offensive.

Spoons festival! Very slightly hazy amber beer. Untidy off white head. Smooth low carbonation palate, a little dry. Minerally hop - bordering on metallic. Paradoxically the hop is quite tame. Some dry malt underneath. Finishes smooth. Bland and over tangy!

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 30/10/10. Amber with a slight white head. Sweetish, malty aroma with a touch of fruit. Caramel flavours, with some earthiness and decent, bitter finish. Ok.

Cask at Argyll Arms, Oxford Circus 17 Nov 08. Golden colored. An OK creamy head clinging to the glass. Some fruity aroma. Malty, but a bit perfumed flavor. A modest, dry bitter aftertaste.

Cask Conditioned at Woodin’s Shades, London
Cloudy golden color, with a creamy head. Bad aroma, like the beer that flows in the tray, or fermenting fruits; is this the first pint of the day? The body is soft, but there is an unexpected sourness; less bad than the aroma, but very suspicious. I can’t drink it.

Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen. A hazy dark amber beer with a thin light tan head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet malty with notes of caramel, while the body is light.
