Our multiple award-winning Indian pale ale relies on crystal malt for its glorious red colour and toasty sweet flavours. Perle and Centennial hops create a smooth but punchy bitterness that leaves you wanting more. An original flagship beer and a firm favourite we are proud of.

Cask at Victoria Station Spoons. It pours deep red-amber with a decent beige head. The nose is toasty, wood, caramel, red berry and brown bread. The taste is bitter-sweet, oily, juicy, wood, caramel, red fruit, leather, varnish and berry with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Balanced and quaffable. Nice work.

Cask at the Ball & Wicket, Upper Hale, 09/03/14. Clear brown with reddish hues and a well appointed beige head. Nose carries light floral notes, berry fruits, some hops present, biscuit malt, very light soap. Taste comprises caramel, light summer fruit, perfumed tones, citric rind,light hops, dark berry fruit. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, subtle bitterness in the close. Ok, nothing to shout home about but inoffensive and drinkable.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Cask. Clear deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and very smooth with nice superfine carbonation. Smooth malt, a little dry. Whisper of banana and bubblegum esters. Little unsweet caramel and malt cream. Mild dried fruits and subtle juicy red berries. Finishes with light noble hop bitterness. Mellow bitter linger. Not bad.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW - London. Pours clear, ruby-gold with a creamy, off-white head. The aroma has a surprising amount of juicy citrus, pine and toasty bread. The flavor backs up the robustness of the snout with lots of well ripened and juicy citrus, orange, grapefruit, berries, plenty of sappy pine, sweet bread. Pretty tasty. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly resinous, more oine, ripe citrus fruits, some toffee, rich and lightly toasted bread. Not a bad beer.

Cask at the Plough and Harrow (JDW), Hammersmith. Poured reddish amber with a dense cream head; some pine resin to the aroma; smooth creamy texture, with some sharply bitter pine and grapefruit to start then a fuller, sweeter, fruity flavour developing; the finish is dry and well-hopped without being over the top. Well balanced.
