Atlantic is a modern pale ale brewed to feature the best attributes of our ingredients. Succulence from two types of malt, tropical and citrus fruits from new world hops. All this, along with Sharp’s trademark complexity and balance, give a beautifully refreshing pale ale.…

Cask Orange beer with a dull ochre shinge; B.C."H.". First UK hops nose, flowery, nettles, but all terribly subdued. Very fine hoppy & herbal flavour but with a total lack of maltbacking. Faint bitterness overall. Extremely light MF, watery texture. OK, this is British Cask ale, and it is suitably subtle. So, I’m not expecting an exploding MF from a USA hop bomb. But it is called IPA, yes. Please, look this up in the brewing dictionary...

[Cask at GBBF] Clear golden. Some interesting peachy hops up front. Sweet and gently malty with vanilla, tangerine and spun sugar. Medium bitterness.

Beautiful amber color. The aroma is malty with a vanilla touch. The taste is clean, a bit malty, some caramel and a good bitterness. Strong palate, with a light fruitness as well.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, while the flavor is sweet and primarily fruity, but also with hoppy notes and a thin body. A boring IPA.

Cask at GBBF 2005. Golden brown, some hay and diacetyl on the nose, good supping pint though with some sulphur from the Cornish water. 500ml bottle from Franglais, Calais. Filtered and pasteurised. Gold/copper colour with thick lasting off white head. Stale malt, some citrus grassy hops on aroma. Overly carbonated. Some metallic candy sugar flavours in mouth. Finishing hop is crisp and rather nice. Pasteurisation doesn’t help with this beer, but the hop is good. Some creamy vanilla too in the flavour. 5 3 6 3 11
