An American Amber Ale with a treasure trove of flavours waiting to be discovered.
The deep colour reveals a cara-malty vanilla sweetness over dry fruit and toffee with a zesty bitter finish.

Cask at the Free House, Nelson. Clear copper dark orange with white head. Hoppy, malty, some caramel, resinous, smooth with nice bitter finish. Superb

Bottle, 330ml. Clear amber with an inch of off white head. Aroma of grapefruit and lemon blossoms, caramel, some bread. A fair bit of body for under 5%. Lowish carbonation. Sweet gives way to bitter pretty quickly in the taste. There’s some dried fruit in with the toffee and citrus flavours. Floral and herbal lemon dominates at the end. A trifle overhopped for mine, but pretty good.

dark amber color. Tropical fruit and caramel nose. Solid malty backbone, but enough hop notes pop through to make this distinctively non-English. Estery. Moderate bitter finish with hops just sitting in your mouth. Very well made New World take on an English bitter
