This one is all about the hops. A solid malt bill plays host to Cascade, Chinook, Simcoe, Citra and Centennial hops in this hop forward yet balanced session ale. Grown in the North Western states of the US, these famous varieties bring big citrus flavours and pine notes whilst the late additions and dry hop provide grapefruit and floral aromas.

Malt: Cara Malt, Maris Otter & Torrefied
Hops: Chinook, Centennial, Citra, Simco & Cascade

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Clear light amber with small fluffy white head. Citrus rind, grapefruit, malts, light metallic note. Quite a bit of bitter grapefruit, light pine, malt, pepper, fairly crisp bite in the finish. Light bodied but not watery, refreshing. Good session pale.

Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear medium amber colour with a short-lived bubbly white head. The aroma is malt, floral hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, herbal, floral, perfume palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Got lots of floral notes, but no grapefruit as promised on the pump clip.

Cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Deep gold with a small foamy head. Not quite clear. Lemon-lime Pixy Stix with some golden syrup and dried lemongrass. While it's a good beer, it isn't quite as complex as the aroma suggests: it's got a chalky citrus bitterness to it althoigh the malt is also prominent. Strange sort of thing. Angostura bitters and orange peel in the aftertaste. Full body for the ABV.
