Henley has long been known for flavourful session beer and this 3.4% Pale Ale is no exception.
We use Maris Otter as a base malt with a special blend of specialty malts to give this small beer a complex malt profile. Generous additions of 3 hop varieties give this beer exceptional hop character.
TASTING NOTE
The amber coloured ale has a good balance of juicy malt and hop character on the nose. The flavour finishes with a balance of bitterness from toasted barley, leading to a long clean bitterness of English hops.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing light tan head. The aroma has notes of fruti and malt as well as a light touch of spicy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, fruit, elderberries, and hops, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle that Loz picked up from the brewery & shop for me 31.12.10 consumed 02.01.11 Pours mid amber with a touch of haze. Really soapy hops on the nose. There is some fruitiness and a reasonable bitter bite but yet I find the soapy hops present on the nose come through and dominate the mouth as well, it’s ok but its a bit too fairy liquidy for me at times.
