A bold, balanced Amber Ale. The carefully layered malt bill showcases a host of aromas and flavours spanning light, sweet biscuit through to dark roasted caramel. Vibrant hops from America and New Zealand introduce a gently bitter edge of resinous pine and citrus pith, topped off with subtly spiced florality.

Bottle courtesy of Peter Fowler, Shoulder of Mutton, Wantage, Oxon, (cheers Peter!) consumed in Frank (camper) at Bell Inn campsite, Purton, Friday 4th July 2014 We are sat in candlelight in Frank so tricky to be exact on colour but it sort of looks amber and its called amber so thats good enuff’ for moi. Another belter of a beer, citrus and pine intermingle, its bittersweet and a furryness is left across the tongue, really lovely. A8 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 4.0

From tap. Pours hazy orange to brown with a small off white head. Aroma is fruity, toasted and slight yeasty. Bitter, peachy and grapefruity. Crisp hoppy, fruity and lingering peachy into the finish.

500ml bottle. Cloudy amber colour with average, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Hoppy aroma has notes of tropical fruit, grapefruit, a touch of mango, a resinous and piney touch, cautiously peppery hints of green onions, malty background with almond touch. Taste is bitter and fruity hoppy, a touch of grapefruit, some peach, a minimally sweaty resinous touch, some pine, bearing malt basis. Long lasting finish with a twist from primarily hoppy to mainly malty with a nuttily touch; very soft palate. Really, really nice!
