Deep golden color with a tinge of Amber. Big, soft hoppy brew that shows apples and oranges through out, that bordered on being citrusy and was the closest beer I tried in the UK to an American Pale Ale. Hop character really shines. Smooth moderately bitter finish. Excellent.

Cask gravity at Oxford Beer Festival 16-10-08 This beer pours a clear amber colour, some bubbles. Some vanilla starts to show along with a lazy lingering bitterness, I found this to be just very ordinary its absolutely fine but for me thats not good enough for Crouch Vale they can and do, do much better than this.

Cask @ The Wenlock in the company of TimE. Clear amber with a thin white head. Sweet bready malts and fruity hops in the nose, some toffee also. Flavour is sweet with bready malts, apple notes and a good hop biterness in the finish...does what it says on the tin. I intended to have a night off rating but couldn’t resist a Crouch Vale, had no idea I’d have to add it though...
