USA Pale. Intense. Hoppy. Complex. Buckets loads of hops are added throughout the brew, a beautiful blend of Cascade, Chinook and Amarillo. With a strong malt backbone to balance the flavour.

330ml bottle from Little Leeds. Pours clear amber, massive white head, high carbonation. Aromas of stressed yeast, wood shavings, rotting oranges. Taste is only marginally better. Bad sour sherbet finish. Drain pour.

330ml bottle from Borough Wines, Stoke Newington. Pours clear copper with fast receding bubbly head. Sweet caramel aroma. Taste is an initial tropical fruit hit, merging more towards a malty caramel character. Not too into this.

Bottle picked up from the a wine shop/off-licence in Henley on Thames, Oxon, consumed at Isobels, Eardisley, Herefordshire, Friday 25th July 2014 Pours light amber with bubbly large white head. Sweet is my first thought, soft in mouth a little caramel, its a little hoppy but this is blunted by the sweetness. Quite bland. A5 A3 T6 P3 Ov11 2.8

Bottle at home in London. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The aroma holds grainy bread, some earthy minerals, pine, crackers, orange. Light to medium sweet flavor with lots of crackery malts, minerals, toasty hay, grains, orange rind. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with moderate sweetness, further minerals, grain husk, nips of smoke, sun-kissed hay, dry bread, understated citrus, rind. Not bad.

Light haze on this deep gold beer, few off white bubbles for a head. Palate is dry and crisp, very dry. Bone dry malt, slight caramel streak. Bittersh hops, trace of marmalade. Dry finish. Bleh!

Bottle from Borough Wines, Kensal Rise. Clear deep amber colour lasting near white head. Sweetish toffee aroma. It has some hop but not much and next to the Kernal pale ale I had before it, it does rather pale in comparison. Sweet malt carries on through, I’m guessing somthing like crystal malt. Some dryness on the finish, some toast. OK, but nothing special.

Bottle tasted with the Beast, 19th April 14. Not sure what happened to the hops in this one, seemed overly sweet, faded hops if any and malt forward. Older bottle perhaps..
