Named after the area where most American hops grow. A mahogany American Brown Ale with a surprising citrus hit. This beer has a glorious darker shade, and will catch you out with Simcoe and Citra aroma hops.

Pours a hazy mahogany brown colour with a small, mostly lasting, creamy beige head. The aroma is citrusy, orange peel and lime, with some light resiny notes. A moderately sweet taste, orange, lime, and light caramel malt flavours with a light citrusy bitterness.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A mahogany coloured pour with a thick cream head; aroma of citrus and malt; dry bready malt taste with a touch of citrus; and a clean zesty finish that drys the mouth completely.

Half-pint, cask, after breakfast at Willow Walk (JDW). Shared with Finn. A decent beige head blanketing the glass, clear mahogany coloured body. Good looking, indeed. Moderate smell of earthy malts with scent of caramel. Quite fine balanced taste profile of brown malts and herbal hops. Dry ending, mid-sweet with a caramel twist. Quite alright. (London 20.11.2021)

On tap cask at Waterloo Tap. Clear very deep brown colour. Lasting beige head. Decent enough American brown. Lots of hops. Lots of chocolate lime sweets. Quite dry though. A little under carbonated but still OK. Lots of good flavours. I liked it then again I like this style. Haven't had one in a bit.
