Recreated using a Californian yeast strain, pale ale malted barley, along with some Munich malt, Crystal malt and malted wheat. This will provide the biscuity backdrop to the big American hops. A blend of five American hops gives our beer a deep citrus bitterness with a fragrant citrus/floral aroma.

Bottled 500ml (Tuulensuu, BB 04/2013)
Slightly hazy amber color, small steady beige head. Fruity, berryish aroma, grainy?, nutty notes. Medium-bodied. Nutty, hoppy flavor. Some salty notes in finish. Yes, American style but really English kind of beer.

Cask at ’The William Jolle’, Wetherspoons in Northwood Hills. A dark golden coloured pour with a small white head on top. Vague hoppy, citrus aroma, maybe this pint was not so fresh as the aroma was not particularly good. Tasted better than the aroma thankfully, hoppy, citrus fruit, malty. Really drinkable and I’m sure it would be considerably better when fresh.

(Bottle, 0.5 l, at William K Kurvi, 20120306) The beer poured deep amber and a bit hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness and toffee. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were hops, fruitiness, toffee, malts, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, malty, sweet and bitter. A British bitter with higher ABV and American hops. Not anything special, unfortunately.

Bottled. Pale copper colour, mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity, floral, wooden and mildly caramelly with some hints of slightly acidic wood. Flavour is bitter hops, some floral and fruity notes as well as a quite crispy maltyness. Rather wellmade US style IPA.

[Cask at Wetherspoons, Milton Keynes] Pale amber, slight white head. Traopical fruit, grapefruit, loads of pine - rather like the Roosters Last Stand I’d had just before, but with the piney hops stepped up, and more and slightly darker malts to provide rather more balance and a richer mouthfeel than the Roosters had. Best at this ’Spoons fest for me. Another great beer from Adnams - surely the best regional brewer in the land?

Cask handpull at Knights Templar Spoons. Gold slight haze lasting sparse white head. Sherberty American hops on aroma. Not particularly strong hop though through rest of it. Its more an English golden ale than an American Pale Ale. A bit watery in the swallow. An ok golden ale with some interesting hop flavours but perhaps would be better warmer and in better condition. Still above average. 3.3/5.0 re-rate at folkestone spoons. Lots more usa hops than before. Very drinkable.
