First brewed as a seasonal special in 2004, this marvellously refreshing beer joined the Oakham core range in 2008.
Oakham’s brewing team have been visiting the USA hop fields for many years in search of the best quality hops. Inferno’s unique flavour comes from five carefully selected hop varieties from the Yakima Valley – Sterling, Amarillo, Centennial, Cascade and Chinook.

A very thin, weak white head on a pale straw body. Nose is soft with bready malt and a touch of skunkiness (not an old bottle either. the taste is quite refreshing. Some floral and tropical fruit notes, sweet bready malt over a thin body. Carbonation is appropriate. A little extra hops in the finish, but still quite light

Bottle from Morrisons. Deep amber in colour, with a small, off-white, head. Grassy hops, tangerines and pineapple, a touch of white pepper, rich tea malts and a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear light golden colour with a medium sized throthy white head. Aromas of citrus fruits, hints of tropical and some floral. Taste has more citrus, floral and peppery spice with some pithy bitterness on the finish. Medium to full body, average carbonation and very smooth oily mouthfeel. Nice fresh summery beer.

500ml bottle. Light gold, very small head with some retention. Hoppy aroma with some malts. Taste has an initial hoppy, citrus, light malts and then there is almost a void before there is a building bitterness in the finish which is interesting for a blonde ale and must be where the 'inferno' come from. Body is light and there is a moderate carbonation. I guess before the latest craft beer explosion this was seen as very hoppy and modern. Now its almost traditional and its probably not that old a beer! Its a decent beer overall.
