Commercial Description:
Copper-colored ale is medium-bodied and highly hopped. Its flavor is delightfully complex: tangy fruit at the start, with an assertive hop crispness and a long malty palate that one well-known beer writer has compared to the flavor of freshly-baked bread.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet and very hoppy, but also with notes of oranges. The flavor is very hoppy and grassy and it has a very bitter end.

Cask gravity @ GBBF 2007, London. Clear medium amber color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, light brown head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, caramel, moderate to heavy hoppy, pine, grapefruit. Flavor is moderate sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a long duration and a nice dry finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat.

Americna pale? This is all English, folks. Orangey dark red hue; earthy malts, what I believe to be fuggles, bitter chocolate, plums and maybe a touch of peat on the nose; medium body; earthy palate, bark-like flavours, herbal bitterness, dark unsweetened chocolate; finishes bittersweet.

A bit of hops in the aroma, but it’s very faint. The hoppiness comes to the fore in the flavor, although oddly enough, they seem like they don’t stand out. The head nicely laces atop a beautiful copper body.

Cask at GBBF Dark amber, typical American IPA hop nose, sweetish fruit but a really good long lasting satisfying hop finish

A Mes rate: Gravicask at GBBF. Tea brown colour. Slickly hoppy nose. Way too o.t.t. and grassy flavour. If I wanted to munch grass I’d turn into a cow and move into a field.
