The first beer brewed by Allendale Brewery on St. Valentine's Day 2006.
A beautiful light ruby ale, highly drinkable with a refreshing bitterness and an exciting citrus floral hop character from a late hopping of Cascade. Also has Columbus.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - deep amber with a proportionate head. Nose - bran flakes almost into cake. Taste - light cake and dried orange peel. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - a solid Bitter. Quite pleasant.

Cask at the Guildford. Pours clear golden amber, thick white head. Aromas are malty, caramel, light herbs. Taste is more of the same. Light sweet finish, but nicely balanced.
