Nose is very malty much like the taste. Very british.Caramel and Biscuit are the two stand out tastes. Well made but a little boring.

Bottle. Pours amber with a medium white head. Caramel malt and floral notes. The flavour is caramel malt, citrus and grassy hops. Smooth and bitter finish. A refreshing and tasty pale ale.

330ml bottle. Nice copper colour with some cloudiness and a massive off white rocky head with large bubbles that stick to the side of the glass. Aroma of fruit and hops, sweet and pleasant. Lively and zingy in the mouth with good flavour and balance of bitterness.

Small head shows little persistence. Slightly hazy amber/pale copper. Aroma is quite an eclectic mix of hops - sharp green grassy and spicy notes, grapefruit, orange blossom. A hint of clean malt underneath. Very English flavours, lots of clean slightly sweet malt with a significant green hoppy taste and pronounced bitterness, finishing quite dry. A bit too much carbonation.

Muddy flat brown with a citrus hue. Quite quaffable and decent without being great.

Poured amber colour, off white creamy head. Earthy hop aroma tones, some malt, smelt like sweet straw. Taste was malty with a nice creamy palate. Slight lingering bitterness to finish it well. Enjoyable,not as grunty as some other APA’s around.

Pours a hazy orange tending amber with a rather substantial off white to cream coloured head. Aromas of earthy english hops are evident bringing with them hintings of honey, caramel and toffee. Palate displays a completely different spectrum of flavour. Some resiny hops partnered with hints of passionfruit and citrus. (Having tried the ESB recently i can see some similar traits) Finish is malty with enough hop presence to balance, perhaps lacks a bit of penetration, however IMO deserves more than its 3.0 rating...
