Commercial Description:
Cask, Special;
Brewed specially with the White Horse American Beer Festival in mind, Ascot’s take on an American Pale Ale. Aromas of pine needles and citrus peel from the generous dose of full flower American hops along with a nice balance of spicy sweet notes from the malts. Fresh and hoppy with a long bittersweet finish.

Cask @ The White Horse: A spitty looking head with farty, earthy, eggy aromas. Sprightly zest, light and tickly. The dryness is strawlike. Great lively USA hops but with the standard UK control.

Cask in the rake. Alround rating: Pale honey malt sweetness, peachy with some lychee citrus fruit character, but this herbal hop thats coming through gets right ontop of it and makes it a bit mildue like.

Handpull @ The Old Fountain, Old St. On the golden side of amber with a thin white head. Nose of pale malts, subtle fruits and a little gingery, piney hop in the distance. More pale malt than hop in the flavour but there’s a decent bitterness to the finish. It’s ok, just needs more.

Cask at the White Horse, Parsons Green, 3rd July 09. Slightly hazy amber. Interesting aroma, almost like cooked chicken. Flavour is a bit bland though. Ok overall.

A Mes rate: cask handpull at the Sloany Pony.
Pale gold with a thin white film topping. Much more on the Brit side of things than U.S. if you ask me. Fairly straight forward earthy malt with a faint bitter hint in the nose and a little more showing through in the finish. The hops are clearly American but there just are not enough of them. Maybe some juice for aroma and a good dollop of bittering hops for the finish would have sorted it out. Never the less, well brewed and drinkable.
