A full bodied session ale. Powerful American hops combine with a sweet caramel malt base to create a no-nonsense American Pale. Flavours of fruit and pine with a slight smokey caramel sweetness leave no room for compromise.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Hammersmith, London, 28 July 2019) Pale amber colour with brief, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with apricots, orange, caramel and toasted grain. Malty taste with notes of crisp-bread, orange peel, toast, apricots and a a blanced citric, slightly earthy, bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.

Cask @ Shrewsbury Real Ale Festival 2019, St Mary's Church. First beer of the evening. Pours misty gold, frothy white topping. Aroma suggests exotic stonefruit leanings, with a bright, fresh, fruity character overall and light peach melba notes. Nice.

24th July 2019, Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival in St Mary's Church. Cask. Light haze to the golden body, snow white head. Tropical fruit esters in the nose, taste also fruity on a semi-sweet malty base, oranges to the fore with some mini-tartness from other citrus fruits.

On tap at the brewery tap, St Werburghs, Bristol 13/1/2018. Pale amber in colour, with a tight, white, head. Citrus hops, some pineapple and tangerine fruits, digestive maltiness before a dry finish. Enjoyable.
