Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Introduced in 2004 as a summer seasonal in East Anglia and London; became from Feb, 2006 a regular beer.
A golden bitter suffused with the aromas of a grapefruit grove. The massive citrus attack will burst on your palate allowing all the flavours of the imported New World hops to deliver their fruity bitterness. Adnams is “Exploring” new ground by sourcing interesting new hops from the USA that add different characters to the beer. By using the hops, not only in the copper but also in the cask, the drinker enjoys a mix of the traditional brewing quality that has become synonymous with the Adnams name, but also the contemporary flavours of the New World.
Ingredients: Pale malt. Columbus and Chinook hops; Columbus in the copper and Chinook in the cask

A bright golden orange coloured beer with a weak white head. A very hoppy nose, floral and a touch citrusy. The taste is dry with a fresh hop flavour that is over-powered by a bready, yeasty taste that does spoil the beer somewhat. (Cask - The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk).

Cask at the Bridge House, not the nicest pub I’ve been to! Nice flowery taste, the hops are dominating, but more for aroma than for bitterness. Lingering dry finish. Not a great beer, but I would not object to having this available as a steady pint.

Half pint on cask at The Greyhound in Ipswich. Orange in colour, a bit unclear. Small ring layer of foam. Moderate fruity esters in aroma and bitter fruity in flavour. Medium mouthfeel. Hard to discern anything beyond the ordinary (22.09.2006).

Cask at Harp London WC2 30 Apr 06. Colden brown colour. A shortlived foamy head. A wonderful fruity smell and aroma. Refreshing and summerly.

Cask at The Royal Standard, Wooburn Common. Blonde coloured. Fruity, floral and citric hop aroma. A bit of sweetness and citrus fruit in the flavour but overall not enough hop character and ends up rather average.

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Clear light golden with a big foamy head. Very unusual with perfume in both the scent and mouth. Grapefruit and malts. Not bad at all.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Colour is golden. Very nice nose with fresh, grassy hops and citrus (grapefruit, lemon). Fresh hoppy, somewhat bready and slightly sweetish taste dominated by hops (citrus: grapefruit, lemon) and a dry bitter finish. Very summery with a characteristic taste of American hops. Refreshing and nice.
