A copper coloured ale in the style of an American Pale Ale, brewed with crystal, caramalt and US hops.
It has a rich full-bodied feel from the roasted malts finished off with a delicious fruity hop character.

17/8/2018. Bottle from Crafty Bottle, Lincoln. Pours bright amber with a short lasting average sized off-white head. Aroma of caramel, hops, malt, biscuit, fruit and touch of molasses. Light sweetness, quite heavy bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, average carbonation. Hoppy, bitter finish.

Cask at the Pennsylvanian, Rickmansworth. Poured a crystal clear copper colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light sweet fruit, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a smooth dry malt, light pepper spice, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A fine English bitter and great for session.

Cask pint in Montgomery's Tower, a Wetherspoons in Shrewsbury on 29th Jan 2018. Nice to see a Lincolnshire beer in Shropshire, very rare. Clean amber body, off-white crown. Malts in the aroma fade a little in the taste where the hops take over to give a semi-fruity, semi-bitter flavour overall.

Handpull cask at the Beehive (JDW), Gatwick Airport. Light copper with a sizeable but quickly dissipating off-white head. Woody, astringent smell, not unpleasant but not much to it. Taste is a revelation: a tannic bittersweetness followed by kumquat peel, apple butter and medicinal notes. Finishes dry, tannic and astringent. A lovely cask bitter.

Cask halfpint at Wetherspoons, London Victoria Station. ABV is 4.3%. Copper colour, low off-white head. Moderate but nice malty aroma. Malty and nutty flavour with a decent amount of fruity (blackcurrants) and earthy hops.
