Inspired a love of modern American pale ales. This proper hoppy northern brew is a full bodied 5% pale ale made with three malts, First wort hopped with 3 classic American IPA hops, more of the same added at flame out and given a twist with a shed load of New Zealand hops in the hop-back.

Cask at The Black Horse, Preston. Pours hazy orange-gold, thick white head. Aromas of biscuit and grapefruit. Bitter taste, bitter finish. a little over-bitter, lacks some balancing maltiness. Not bad though.

Bottle from Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Hazy, orangey, amber. Bubbly, thinning, white head. Grainy, biscuity and pithy. Lots of pithiness, in fact. Taste is more pithiness. Bitter finish. Ermm... Pithy, then...
