This light, pale, fruity and top-fermented beer has its origin in Burton-upon-Trent in England around 1820. Caramelized malts and abundance of American hop add to the significant taste of citrus and tropical fruits.

330 ml can. Unclear orange body with a big creamy, lacing off-white head. Aroma of fresh citric fruit, malt, some lemon and grapefruit. Flavor is medium sweet malt, fruity, both fresh and ripe with medium bitterness. Medium body and average aftertaste. Not to complex, but well-made pale ale and a fine thirst quencher.

33cl can from a trade with Cunningham - thanks a lot! Pours close to clear amber with a modest off-white head. Surprisingly malty aroma with quite hoppy and fairly fruity aroma with notes of caramel, pine, herbs and a hint o citrus and bread. Medium to moderate sweet with malty and fruity flavours and a rather nice bitterness. Feels more like an English pale ale than an American. Quite tasty, but still a little bit disappointing.
