Originators and innovators of quality, new world pale ales, with an emphasis on flavour and aroma, our beers start to stand out and turn heads amongst a sea of brown beer, with Yankee (our flagship pale ale) leading the way.

Cask conditioned at Merton Beer Festival 17-02-07. A pale golden coloured beer with great hoppy and fruity notes. This was a nice beer but one that I felt was trying a just little too hard to be something different. I felt that overall whilst this tasted pretty decent it was also a little bit muddled and the combination of hops hadn’t gelled that well. This beer was fruity, hoppy and had plenty of citrus and had some sweetness swishing around, as I said a good beer but not particularly memorable.

(Cask, White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 23 July) Colour is yellow to orange with a frothy head. Nose is very fruity with a flowery hop character and lots of citrus (grapefruit, lemon peel). Same goes for the taste: fruity, with lemon and flowery hops. Starts sweet, turns drier in the hoppy finish. A bit one dimensional, but a nice, hoppy beer.
