This is a robust pale based on an 1890s recipe, far darker and more malty that a modern pale ale, the main hops are true to the 1800's with fuggles and golding style hops for bittering and flavour, with a sprinkling of US citra and amarillo to give a slight touch of citrus aroma.

From cask at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam. Thick caramel malt aroma with toffee, soft noble hops, picking up a little orange but it'a quite 'old world' and malty as promised. Medium bodied. Decent bitterness, overall enjoyable.

Bottle from Eltham Wines. Reddish orange pour with an off white head. Nose is caramel, toffee apple, sweet malt, orchard fruits, toffee. Taste is banana toffee, sweet malts, more toffee apple, caramel, cherry drops. Sweetshop/candy store mouthfeel. Sacks of sweetness in the close with a light spicy backbone. Interesting.

Keg at Love Beer London. Spicy vinous aroma. Hazy amber. Thick foamy white head. Medium-heavy bitter with a tangy sour bretty edge. Medium bodied. Slick. Lowkey fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Spicy sour IPA. Good stuff.

Bottle from Pigs Ear a coupla years back. Oops, mebbe should not of aged this one - let’s see. Hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Soft malts, a nice fluffy creamy sweetness. Touches of caramel and toffee. Light bretty savoury vibe. Modest and smooth dried fruits which are well integrated. Smooth pine on the dry crispy finish. Well if this is a good approximation of an 1892 beer then I can see why beer was so popular in those days.
