Avalanche is the quintessential, refreshing pale ale showcasing Cascade and Liberty hops. Punchy, clean citrus and grassy hop flavours with a balanced, bittersweet finish designed to quench the strongest of thirsts. Named after punk band, ''I Am The Avalanche'', our year-round progressive pale ale was first brewed in 2007 and quickly became a favourite of our team.

Cask at the Euston tap. Yellow straw colour with a thin white head. Light hazed. Aroma is light spices, hay and grass, with a touch of lemon. Flavour is earthy spicy hop, straw, hay clean cereals. Some orange peel oils in there as well. Palate is nice and crisp and refreshing. Finish is earthy and semi dry. Lingering earthy nuttyness. Very drinkable.

Slightly hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of hay, malts, apricot, hops. Light sweet malty flavour, bitter hops. Bit on the thin side, but nice and refreshing. Lovely!

Bottled, BB Mar 2015, large sample. Clear yellow color, medium lasting white head. Aroma of flowery hop, slight citrus, hint of grass and pine, some pilsener malt. Quite typical UK style again (is that the yeast used?). Quite bitter taste, which goes on and on. Bit minerally finish perhaps, which again gives that UK feel to it. Tough part to describe, although it is pretty obvious. Great golden ale.
