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.

Sampled with Finn at Reading Beer Festival. See-through mahogany gown. Neither head nor lacing. Dark malty aroma with hoppy notes. Well bodied Pale Ale with a rounded taste of sweet, caramel malts offset by bitter dark fruits (gravicask 02.05.2008).

On tap at Zerodegrees, Blackheath. Clear orange/copper, thin beige head. "C" hop aroma. Resiny grapefruit, morphs into earthy grapefruit. Malts are a little biscuity and buttery. Hops on end tend to fade a bit. Could be bolder. Not a bad sub Sierra Nevada Pale Ale version though. Nice to see this style in the UK.

Draft at the Greenwich location, July 2006. A hazy dark orange beer with a dense orange head. The aroma is sweet citrusy. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of caramel, leading to a bitter end with some notes of oranges. The flavor is quite light taking into account that they call it an American Pale Ale.
