HPA is an easy-going real ale that brings people together. Our brewers have let locally grown Target and Celeia hops hang out with Maris Otter pale malt to give this understated brew its pale straw colour, citrus hop aroma and a balanced bitter finish.

[On draught at The Retreat, Reading] Uncarbonated (hurrah!), no head at all, sweet apple at first perfectly balanced by a crisp and bitter aftertaste. Very easy to drink, great session ale but otherwise not that distinctive.

Cask-conditioned at the Inn on the Green, Bristol. Pale gold with a frothy white head. Subtle aroma of hay and floral hops. Easy drinking with some malt sweetness before a pleasant bitter finish. Good.

Cask (handpump) @ Wellington, B2, Birmingham. Clear light orange color with a small, virtually none, off-white head. Aroma is moderate hoppy, flowers, citrus, fruit. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Very nice and refreshing. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat.

Cask@Beer Hunters, Pori. Golden clear color, big foamy head. Citrusy hoppy nose. Citrusy, grassy hoppy pale ale. Light but nicely balanced. Long bitter aftertaste. Someway similar to WPA, maybe because of pale malts profile?
