COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask: Regular.
The yeast strain used for the brewing of the pale, dry American Ales is specially imported from the USA, along with Cascade and Centennial hops, to produce this pale ale. The low colour Maris Otter malt provides a perfect light colour and dryness to complement the crisp taste and full aroma of the hops.

On cask @ Coach and Horses - Clear golden, thick white head, lacing down throughout. Buttery malt aroma with a good amount of strong grapefruity hops. Sweet and malty with pleasantly soft mouthfeel. Towards the finish hops take over more, and the citrussy bitterness give a lasting finish. For an APA it comes across as being really gentle, but I like that and gives a clean palate overall.
