A light golden beer with a big personality, bursting with fruity hop flavours, citrus notes and a refreshing finish.
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.

Bottled, 0.50l. Clear pale golden color with thin frothy white head and fizzy carbonation. Aroma of spicy hops, flowers and fruits, mainly citrus and mango. Taste start with fresh grainy malt and followed by mild fruity undertones. Mouthfeel is astringent, quite crispy and dry, while finished with moderate bitterness. Medium body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Real hopster, would like to have it with a bit stronger palate...

50cl bottle from Morrisons. Pale amber with a ring of white head; slightly musty fruit aroma; rich fruity taste with citrusy lemon and grapefruit, and also some peach and apricot; than a fresh and dry finish. Better than most supermarket bottled ales.
