Amber Ale·United Kingdom·4.3% ABV·One of 88 Amber Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Hairway To Heaven's caramel and orange-y character. August's monthly cask is a moderately bitter premium amber ale at 4.3% ABV. Greenwich Crystal malt provides sweet toffee and caramel, and US Amarillo hops added late in the boil bring citrus on the nose, citrusy orange notes and bright citrus flavours, plus an uplifting finish. Its pitch promises a stairway to flavour, in Hydes' 2026 hairstyle series.
