Beer and music are a great combination and in Ed Cosens, from Reverend & the Makers, you have an accomplished musician with a great passion for home brewing. After the success of working with Ed on a Reverend Summer Ale and an American Brown, we have come together for a third time to celebrate the launch of the band’s new album, ’Mirrors’. The beer pours a bright gold in colour with a tropical aroma and flavours of grapefruit, sherbet and citrus.

Thank you tderoeck! 500 ml. bottle sampled @ “Tim’s Christmas Tasting”. Pale golden, citrus, only a few bubbles. Nose is gorgeous lemon, kiwi, litchi hops with light blue cheese hops, nicely dry. Taste is beautiful dry floral qualities leading into light grass, litchi, lemon, white grape, touch grapefruit. Body is nicely dry, light, very juicy hops, very easy to drink. Lovely beer. Great hop profile, juicy hops, pleasantly dry & ridiculously easy to drink. Comparable to the other lovely Thornbridge American Pale Ales.
