At 4.5% and bursting with a citrus hop aroma, American Pale Ale is crafted using four American hops: Chinook, Cascade, Columbus and Centennial. James Coyle, sales director for Marston’s, says: "The popularity of craft beer is grwoing and is forecast to rise over the coming years as British consumers search out new beer experiences. Our rsearch has shown the market for ’craft beers’ combines more established continental speciality beers with an emerging market of American and British craft brewers producing lighter lager/pale ale hybrid beers with more fruity hop character, which we classify as New World craft beers.
