Brewed using a blend of the finest English Pale ale, Maris Otter, Crystal and Cara malts with a little bit of added Wheat. To that we have infused a wonderful concoction of Simcoe, Cascade, Bramling Cross and Savinjski Golding whole hops that gives the beer a hop character that will delight even the most hardened hophead.

Medium bodied with a hint of sweetness give the hops a nice balance that also allow the malt flavours to shine through.

Bottle online from The Cheddar Brewery. Pours a hazy amber colour with a huge thick foamy off white head. Some sediment in the glass. Aromas of toffee, caramel and toasty bread with a hint of citrus orange, apricots and nuts. Taste is pretty much the same notes detected in the aroma with more apricots, orange peel and nuts coming through and also some peppery spice. Some earthy hops also on the dry finish. Medium body, fairly low carbonation and smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Yet another very decent Beer from this good Brewery.
