A smooth quaffable amber ale which carries a tremendous aroma from the Cascade hop. Don't be fooled by its taste, it is 5%

Hazy dirtyish orange beer, the bubbly head is a weird colour and the bubbles refract rainbows like washing up liquid. Palate is light and semi dry, modest fine minerally carbonation. Mild malt sweetness, a whisper of caramel. Light pine into some juicy but very ripe orange and yellow grapefruit, marmalade of both. Some mild esters obvious on the semi dry finish. Not Red Fox's finest offering for me. It's quite drinkable but lacks their normal deft touch of presenting something a bit more crafty. This feels very old school.
