COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewer’s blog: "New beer brewed today, Wreckless, a very hoppy / aromatic 4.8% Pale, loaded with Citra and Amarillo hops, looking forward to this one, should be lovely. Think it is time to start brewing at full length rather than the 50% I’ve been running at until now. Update : Just had a quick taste of Wreckless, massive amounts of citra and amarillo tropical fruits coming through,very pleased so far."

Très fruité au nez, arômes de pêche que l’on retrouve en bouche, belle amertume, assez court en bouche, désaltérante. Une très bonne bière

Cask at ’munro’s’ Glasgow. An amber ale with a white head and an aroma od fruits and nice citrus notes.Taste somewhat sweet and more fruit with nice bitter finish. Rather pleasant. I’ve enjoyed ’Directionless’ from Red Willow as well so I’d look out for their ales.

Light hop and fruit aroma. Surprisingly light taste, sharp hop flavout with underlying fruit flavour. Not the best of this style but quite pleasant.

BenH (1335) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - MAR 21, 2013
Cask at HW. Amber with bubbly short lasting white head. Cheesy aroma, melon and bubblegum, slightly resinous. Similar taste, bubblegum, resin and biscuits. Little sweet. Bit weird, not a big fan of the hops

imdownthepub (8470) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - FEB 11, 2013
Cask conditioned at Fleetwood Beer Fest ’13. Amber with white head. Lovely hoppy, flowery flavours from the start, apricot fruitiness, sharp and bitter but with a bitter-sweet finish. Refreshing and lasting, yum.

Leighton (6956) - London, ENGLAND - FEB 7, 2013
Bottle at home in London. Pours clear gold with a massive, frothy white head. Some tangy, lightly dried citrus in the nose. Light sweet flavor with pale, vaguely doughy malts, a bit of tangerine. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly drying to finish, with some pine needles, mellow tangerine, mango. A tasty APA, though the hops don’t quite sing enough for me.
