Cask at the Fox & Crown, Basford, Nottingham. This golden beer, paler than American IPAs, has a fresh pine aroma and complex flavour with soft fruit, resin, butter and a sharp hop finish. It’s dangerously moreish; I was persuaded to have more than one serving.

Sweet with ’rancid’ later taste. Interesting - heading towards a Sierra Nevada hop profile.

Oct 16, 2006 Cask @ Never walk alone, Kolding. Amber/golden color with a small white head. The American hops gives it a nice hoppy aroma. Very well rounded and good balance. Pale ale with fruity malt and a sherberty finish.

Jan 20, 2006 (Cask@Gallows Bird, Espoo) Golden color with a surprisingly firm, smallish head. Mild, american-hoppy aroma. Quite nice american-style hopping with lots of fruitiness, some berries and diacetyl. Medium-bodied, low-carbonated, slightly sticky palate. A nicely hopped brew, but quite mild for my taste.

Very impressed with this, especially the use of American hops gives it a nice hoppy aroma. Very well rounded and good balance. Pale ale with fruity malt and a sherberty finish. Well worth trying this.
