A classic British-style cask IPA created using the very best ingredients we can get our hands on and then fermenting it in our new Union set. For our base malt, we have used Maris Otter from Norfolk, a touch of Simpsons' best Crystal malt to add a touch of colour and rounded sweetness and some of the special (and expensive) Brewers' Invert No.2 sugar from Ragus, which will add notes of caramel and toffee while helping to keep the beer's body in check. The all-important hops are British-grown Goldings and Northdown, which give us some gentle berry flavours and rounded, ceder-like hop aromas to balance the maltiness.

Spotty beige head on a lively clear amber coloured body. Sweet, malt & English hop aroma. Medium bodied, finely carbonated with a cloying back. Floral, lime, pale malt & biscuit tastes with a bitter citrus finish. Great Brew using the 1800's brewing system.

Hand-pulled pint in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 11th October 2024. White crown on a clear golden body. Nice caramel tasting base with some decent hop action giving bitterness and a slight fruity feel. Liked it!
