Pale, bitter, strong, hoppy. A true IPA using Pale malt, Lager malt and a generous charge of Brewers Gold hops for a powerful aroma.

Handpull cask at the King's Head, the lighter side of golden, clear with aring of white head. Light butter on the aroma,gentle Englidh hops with citrus overtones. Taste of buttered toast, pomelo and light kumquat. Light body, maybe slightly oily with no carbonation. One of those beers where rhe description doesn't do it justice. It's a good beer.

Gravity pour from a Firkin at ’The Lighthouse Picture Place’ in Wolverhampton during their showing of ’Roll Out The Barrel’. This was one of three Morton Brewery beers available on the day. The beer is mid-gold with a thin white head on my pour: the brewery says this about it. Pale, bitter, strong, hoppy. A true IPA using Pale malt, Lager malt and a generous charge of Brewers Gold hops for a powerful aroma. I didn’t get the powerful aroma but it does have a hoppy bite to both its smell and taste. Refreshing and easy drinking IPA: this breweries beers are growing on me.
