500ml bottle. Deep amber pour, light haze, off-white head. Aroma of ripe fruits, candied orange, caramel malts. Taste is the same, sweet caramel malts dominate, candied orange, zesty citrus, decent bitterness to finish. Medium bodied. For a classic English IPA - which I always find rather malt dominant - I suppose it's a fairly decent one.

500ml bottle. Clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma of biscuity and caramel malts with a distinct fruity edge, almost apple like which made me wonder if it's actually Acetaldehyde? Odd but not a bad smell at all. Taste is more resinous than the aroma suggested, caramel, biscuity malts, fruity, hoppy bitterness. Light-medium bodied.

500ml bottle close to its BBD, explosive opening so lost about 1/4 of it. Poured a slightly hazed golden, white head. Aroma of pine and citrus, grapefruit peel. Taste is predominantly grapefruit peel and juice, mandarin, pine, light peppery hop spice, light malts, lives up to its name with a big bitterness throughout. Light-medium bodied. Decent effort at a low ABV APA from a trad brewer.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear amber with consistent small off-white head. Aroma is big on toasted malt and nuts, quite dry, some sweetness and straw. Toasted malt comes through in flavour, semi-dry and bitter grassy finish. Light to medium bodied. Its ok.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Light hazed amber with nice frothy medium sized white head. Aroma of light toasted malt, sweetness and an array of hop notes coming through - candied orange, marmalade, grass, flora. Taste follows - light brown bread, toasted grains, icing sugar, mixed citrus peel, pine needles, hop oils. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, decent bitterness in the finish. In terms of a bottled pale ale, its quite a bold hoppy number, and combined with an interesting malt profile, this does make it stand out a bit. Its certainly the best of the beers I've tried from Cheddar Ales so far. [#3642 / 5th beer from brewery]

Bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Pours a clear amber-gold with small white head, some retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, orange and lemon peel, some pine. Taste of biscuit malts, light spice, citrus zest, resin, earthy bitter finish. Light to medium bodied, slightly chewy. More going on here than your average golden ale. I enjoyed it.
