In 2015 we launched our Limited Edition American Pale Ale. Working with our friends at Goddard’s Brewery here on the Island we have created a strong ale, charging VBG’s green handpicked Sovereign Hops in alongside dried Cascade and Admiral Hops in the style of the new American craft beers.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 19/11/20. Clear golden orange with a well presented just off white cap that retains well. Nose is fruit esters, toffee, bread, light sugars, prunes, sweet malts. Taste comprises fruit loaf, caramel, residual sugars, dates, toasted grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light boosty nip. Not bad ... like a mellow less complex Fullers Vintage.

12/11/2020. Bottle from The Garlic Farm, Isle of Wight. Pours unclear orange amber with a modest off-white head. Aroma of toffee, malt, hop, dried fruit, and a little veg. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Rich, flavoursome, quite enjoyed it.

330ml Bottle - Light amber in colour. Honey, biscuity malt and sultanas in the aroma. Fruity snd hoppy taste with honey, grain, sultanas and some slightly earthy notes. I was expecting something more for a beer of this abv but still it was fairly enjoyable all the same.
