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.

Church Inn. Ludlow. Cask. Hazy orange - amber beer, residual pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and crispy. Nice condition. Light and semi dry sweetish malts. Good hoppy fruits here - orange peel, tangerine peel and their fruit pulps. Light floralness, touch of lemon. Peel bitterness and then sweeter fruits. Light crispy finish. Peel and fruity bitter linger. Really nicely done. Full of flavour.

Sampled @ GBBF day 3. Hazy dark orange color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, quite fruity, slightly fruit peel, something weird I can’t put my finger on. Average body and carbonation. Ok beer.
