An innovative hybrid between a traditional Welsh Red Ale and a New World IPA; first brewed in 2012, this beer has quickly established itself as a Welsh Icon. Complex malt characteristics help balance the extensive use of American hops including the famous Mount Hood, Galena and Chinook varieties which together provide powerful, resinous yet citrusy aromas.

Cask @ Moon Under Water, Manchester. Deep amber with a creamy head. Has a tropical fruit nose with a heavy amount of pineapple. There’s some in its taste alongside a more dominant grainy biscuit flavour.

4th July 2015: cask pint in the Briar Rose (a Wetherspoons in Birmingham). Brown with a red hint, the head off-white and lasting. I thought I could detect red berries in the nose and taste within this deep, earthy and malty blend of a beer. Very drinkable.
