An easy drinking and refreshing IPA. Fresh dry hop, herbal character is provided by the mix of Challenger and First Gold hops. The use of crystal malt in the grist gives a satisfying toffee/caramel note and the addition of a little black malt adds just enough astringency to give a clean, dry finish.
Malts: Pale, crystal and black malt.
Hops: Challenger, Pilgrim and First Gold.

Beautiful amber color; frothy head. Delicate aroma, earthy hops. Very light body (too much, indeed), a bit metallic flavor, but also some light malt, some dry toffee and a reasonable hopping. Would be ok if not so weak.

Cask: Copper coloured, lacing, small head; faint fruity (also with a touch of vegetables) and very very light bitter nose; distinctive bitter flavour, rather light bodied; lingering medical bitter and fruity finish. A bit thin, not really satisfying............

(Cask at Lord Clyde, Borough, London 23 Apr 2006) Colour is dark amber to copper. Nose is malty and fruity with hints of oranges and mandarin. Taste is mainly malty, almost bready, with hints of nuts and caramel. Somewhat thin, but still fairly enjoyable and easy to drink.

Cask@Blue Bell Inn, Rothley, Leicestershire. Brownish golden beer with a strong creamy head. The aroma is lightly caramel and toffee, and the flavour is slightly fruity, caramel bitter and apple juice. Overall too smooth on the palate, watery, gasey and not particularly a real ale.

(Cask at The Crown Charlton On Otmoor) A copper coloured beer that is a bit on the thin side, but with a clean bitter finish. Whilst no great shakes it is through lack of choice probably my regular tipple in my local. A good session beer, but where I live I’d rather the choice of Chiswick, Hooky, Youngs etc any day.

[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] An amber beer with a nice beige head. The aroma is very light with notes of caramel - too light for my liking. The flavor is roasted toffeish on a mineral background, and with a dry rather bitter end. The body is somewhat thin.
