Our latest cask take on an East Coast Pale Ale may only be 3.8% but it’s brimful of Centennial, Mosaic and Mandarina Bavaria hops, then dry hopped with Mount Hood and Amarillo. Tropical fruit notes fuse with tangerine and citrus for a refreshing treat.

Cask at Wheatsheaf, Stoke on Trent. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a small off-white head and good lacing. Oranges to the fore in the aroma, plus some background tropical fruits. In te mouth it is sweet and fruity with a creamy texture, but some underlying bitterness as well. Tangerines and grapefruit with some hints of mango later on as well. Finish is slightly dry. This is quite decent.

Clear and golden with a bubbly/frothy white head. Dusty fruit aroma, light bodied with a little hop kick ahead of a soft peach taste, some bitter hops and light bready malt notes before a dry finish

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Golden-amber with a thin white head. Gentle peach blossom and orange with a touch of white bread. Simple, clean, easy drinking and pleasant enough. Next!

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A pale amber pour with a trace of white head; grainy aroma with a hint of tangerine; taste to match the aroma; then a dry bready finish. Not sure what the East Coast influence is supposed to be.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the William Withering, a local Wetherspoons on 9th October 2024. Slight haze to the light orange/amber body, white topping. Orange like aroma and taste, other citrus fruits joining in.
