This was my first introduction to 'proper' American beer and it definitely started a love affair. I vividly remember ordering a pint at the Drummond in Guildford, and being amazed at the orange colour and full on flavour.

As stated, it is a beautiful looking beer with a lovely hoppy, fruity aroma. The taste is fresh and bitter, very biting, which is incredibly moreish.
This beer is now widely available at most supermarkets - and is creeping into many pubs on tap - so the casual beer drinker has no excuse not to try it.

Bob and I first tried this in San Francisco. Great beer.
ReplyDeleteFirst tried it at a retirement party in Carmel, CA. Could've wept with joy to then find it in Tesco's some time later.
ReplyDeleteI find it a nice taste with BBQ red meat especially ribs, it holds up against the strongest of sauces.
It's a great beer, fair play.
ReplyDeleteSpot on, a delicious beer. I also tried it in CA - ice cold, overlooking San Francisco bay after a long flight...
