It has a wonderfully complex aroma of fruity hop zest, spiciness and rich malts. This beer offers initial toasted caramel malt aromas and flavours then mouth-watering citrus hop fruits giving way to a clean, fruity, refreshing hop bitterness.
Hops: Challenger, Cascade
Malts: Pale, Crystal, Chocolate, Malted Wheat

Cask at Picture House, Stafford (though I’ve had it before elsewhere). Pours a brownish red with a small off-white head and some lacing. The aroma is faint and variable, either malts or berry fruits. In the mouth it is slightly watery, but that is more than made up for with bitter hoppiness, over a caramel base. Later on some dark fruits start to show, and the finish is bitter and fruity. This is a bit of an acquired taste – but I like it !
