A Pale with a big character all to itself. Once in the glass it has an outwardly simple and easy going golden appearance but it comes with lots of baggage! A well balanced mellow malt gives the beer a clear and rich body whilst a myriad of well selected hops leaves the beer with a wonderfully crisp late bitter finish.

Half pint poured from cask at Elm Park Tavern in Brixton. Copper-amber coloured body, clear. Vanishing white head. Mid-sweet fruits and malts on the nose. Honeyed fruity flavours followed by fruit bitter ending. Medium to thin bodied. On the average level, more or less (London 12.08.2013).

Bottle from an Odd Bins near the Earlโs Court station. Pours light copper with a transient white head. Aroma has a hint of toffee with some light fruit. Med body. Flavor starts toffee and picks up coffee. At least thatโs what my brain is coming up with. Itโs bitter and the coffee seems to be turning into hop. It drinks really nicely, and itโs finishing bitter after the "toffee" washes away.

330ml bottle of Stiff Upper Lip from Westholme Stores, Goring. Amber with a ring of white head; weakly citrus aroma; zingy flavour with some lime and lemon and a pleasant malty body; then a sustained bitter finish. Rather good.

Bottle from Oddbins London Bridge. Clear gold with lasting white head. Faint oxidised diacetyl aroma. Yes in the mouth the feel is good and the finish is ok but the aroma and flavours really let it down. On this example not a good pale ale.
