Grey Trees Afghan Pale Ale is crafted like an American pale ale. We use Cascade, Citra and Simcoe hops. The Maris Otter malt provides a perfect light colour and dryness to complement the crisp taste and full aroma of the hops.

Bottle from Beer Revolution, Hay on Wye, Powys, courtesy of Isobel, cheers Isobel. Consumed at home Wednesday 27th December 2017. Pours dark amber with a white head. A little bitter, dry and with a typical citrus bite. It's ok but it does not stand out from a crowded marketing that already do this type of thing. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4
