Cask at The Anchor, Digbeth, Birmingham. Poured a clear straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is citrus light malt. The flavour is medium to strong bitter with a big hop bitter mild creamy barnyard light toothpaste palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. Not really an APA at all but a great, fully flavoured English Pale Ale. The Americans don’t make beer like this!
