Powerful hops and fine malts make a golden, highly aromatic NPA (Norse Pale Ale) worth the fight.

Cask, gravity at The Hop Pole (shop) Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Thursday 20th August 2015 Pours gold edging towards light amber with a white head. Initial sweetness soon overtaken by a robust and lasting hoppy bitterness, citrussy throughout. Tasty and after the Mercury 7 yesterday another v.good beer from Aylesbury. A6 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.6

Cask at the Greyfriar, Reading. Bright golden-amber with a thick white head. Lemon and grassy hops initially threaten to dominate but eventually turn out to be surprisingly well balanced against smooth sweet malts. Remains crisp, refreshing and tasty throughout. Decent stuff.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. Amber with a tight white head; sweet malty aroma; sweet and malty taste with a buttery texture, but also with a sharp, spicy herbal bitterness; before a caramel finish. A solid bitter.
