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.

Copper color. Cotton candy and apples in the nose. Fairly fragerant. Aggressive hoppy start to the mouth, but hops are fairly soft. Well balanced with malty backbone that just gives a touch of caramel. Moderately bitter finish. A stunning English bitter. Update summer 2013. Didn’t realize I drank this beer on a previous trip to the UK. Had a very different experience this time. deep orange color. Woody earthy character . Nothing exciting.

Cask-conditioned at The Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 13/9/08. Amber with a decent, off-white head. Aroma of citrus hops, hay and a touch of apricot. Slightly sweet malt flavour with plenty of fruity hops and a decent bitter finish. Good.

Cask handpull at Wetherspoons, Folkestone. Copper colour with lasting off white head. Aroma of strong grapefruit and hop. Very hoppy for a UK bitter, more like an APA, with glittering floral hop on finish. Some American hops I guess from the amount of grapefruit. Malts show moderate juiciness with just enough balance to carry the hops. Man, what an APA at the end of a long week. Lovely and tingly on the finish. Good grapefruit. Barman? Another one of these please.

Cask at The Moon Under Water (JDW), Watford. Poured a clear copper colour, with a scummy white head and some lacing. Malt heavy aroma, with some caramel and floral hop. Grassy hop flavour, with some soft fruit and grain. Finish was light bitter hop, bready malt and mango sweetness. Pretty so-so.

Cask@Leicester Beer Festival. Dark bitter with a slighlty grassy and plainly hopped aroma. The flavour is plainly hopped with a good bitter finish. Overall a good but fairly standard bitter.
