Regularly available at the brewpub, served under air pressure from tanks. May occasionally appear elsewhere in cask.
Copper Coloured ale, similar to an English bitter, but in the style adapted by the craft-brewers of the U.S. West Coast. Rich malt flavours combine with distinctive floral and fruity flavours (peach and grapefruit) from American Cascade and Centennial hops.

Cask at Pigs Ear. Semi hazy amber beer with a good white head. Semi dry palate. Sweet caramal malt tasting a bit raw. Insipid hops - perhaps a trace of marmalade. Dry finish. Meh! Zero Degrees can do much better than this!

Cask at Pig’s Ear Beer Festival, London. Clear brownish amber. Extreme butterscotch aroma. Sweet with light-medium body. Slight resiny hops, the rest is all butterscotch. A nuclear diacetyle bomb!

Tap at the London Brewers Showcase. Pours a shiney, honey-god with a light head. Honey, caramel malt aroma kicks things off. Sweet, buttery flavor with some nice, citrusy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Buttery, cereal finish with some earthy bitterness. Not too shabby. (3.6)

Keg at the brewpub, London. Pours dark gold with a creamy white head. Lightly toasted bready malt nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with toasty bread, some bitter pine, leaves, dried orange, light earth. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Light dry pine finish with mellow toasted sugars, brown bread, some dirt. Decent. (3.5)

Medium brown colour with soapy head. It’s served rather too cold for much aroma to develop. Flavour is not unpleasant but just a bit bland. There’s a hint of maltiness and a mild hop finish but that’s it. Normally I’m a fan of Pale Ale.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden amber with a fully diminished white head. Light fruity hops and bitter aroma. Bitter and fruity hops flavoured with a mild malt base. Light acidic note into a bitter finish with a mild frity accent. Nice one.
