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. Pours clear, rich gold with a sturdy, white head. Has a very fresh hop aroma, straw, citrus light pine. Light to medium sweet flavor, well balanced, some straw and hay, zesty citrus, mild earthy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Crisp finish, dry straw, faint toast and earth, subtle grass and citrus. This was a pretty fantastic beer.

Bottle from Utobeer Market Stall. Golden pour with a white head. The nose reminds me of heather and marmalade. Slightly cheesy too. Malts and herb flavours with a tinge of light citrus and pineapple. Bitter-hop finish.

Half pint, cask conditioned ale at Guildford Arms. Fragile white tophead to an almost, clear golden body. Aroma of fruity hops and toffee malts. Sappy, tropical fruits in flavour featuring lemon and grapefruits. Smooth herbal hops to the ending. Well-composed brew (Edinburgh, 29.11.2010).

Medium white coarseish head. Faintly hazy pale yellow body. Faint floral aroma with fruity notes. Dry-sweet fruity floral wooden taste with tea and resin notes. Mild, smooth mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry metallic resiny aftertaste with wooden floral notes. Quite nice. (0.25l cask, Guildford Arms, Edinburgh.)
