At 4.5% and bursting with a citrus hop aroma, American Pale Ale is crafted using four American hops: Chinook, Cascade, Columbus and Centennial. James Coyle, sales director for Marston’s, says: "The popularity of craft beer is grwoing and is forecast to rise over the coming years as British consumers search out new beer experiences. Our rsearch has shown the market for ’craft beers’ combines more established continental speciality beers with an emerging market of American and British craft brewers producing lighter lager/pale ale hybrid beers with more fruity hop character, which we classify as New World craft beers.

Cask at the Bridge, Kingswinford. Pours dark orange with a small head. Aroma is mango and minerals. Taste has peach and mango to start with a minerally, bitter mango finish.

Hand-pulled pint in The Moon Under Water (a Wetherspoons in Wolverhampton) on 6th July 2013. Very surprised to find it. An American cask beer in the UK! Golden and clear with a creamy white head that gave loads of lacing on my UK pint sleeve glass. The nose and taste were both bitter and hoppy. Most enjoyable. A good hop blend that refreshed and quenched my thirst nicely.

Cask at The Masons Arms, Solihull. Poured a crystal clear amber with a frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is fresh and floral. The flavour is medium to weak bitter, with hints of lemon, hops and lots of grass. For a pale ale the texture and palate were a little oily and creamy, but no complaints from me. . A perfect summer ale.... if only we had the summer!

Cask (Saddle Inn, Keswick, York, U.K.): Golden, lacy creamy white head; distinctive lemony-hoppy nose with a grainy backbone; moderate, quite dry bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; citrussy fruits and lemony hops in the moderate bitter-sweet finish, balanced by some pale malt. Good summer drink....
