Smooth and easy drinking, this bitter pale ale is inspired by the US craft beer boom using four hop varieties, and has a light citrus taste.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of metal, caramel, grapefruit, orange pith and chalk. Flavour of stainless steel, caramel and muted citrus notes. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. Lightly hopped, not bad.

500ml bottle from local shop. Clear amber colour, white foam head and malty, fruity, metallic aroma. Taste is malt, grain, fruity with earthy mineral bitterness. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry twiggy earthy bitter finish. OK.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 29/10/2014. Amber coloured with a slight, off-white head. Sweet, caramel notes, a touch of citrus fruit and some leafy hops, before a decent, bitter, finish. Good.
