I'd been hearing incredibly positive whispers about Copper Dragon's (http://www.copperdragon.uk.com/) new beer for a few weeks now, so when it popped up on the bar at Veritas, I had to get my hands on some.
Conqueror (3.6%), on the surface, looks like your bog-standard pale ale; tight white head and soft amber colour, vaguely medieval pump clip*. But when you lift it to your lips, you realise it's a whole lot more. Mango, Lychee and even a hint of Strawberry float up your nose, and on the taste, Conqueror reveals itself to be a wonderfully balanced, supremely quaffable Pale Ale, with a seriously clean finish. There's so much flavour for such a low abv, and the it's simply a top-notch beer.
We all know that Oliver Fozard will soon be (if not already) ensconced in his new role at Rooster's; his parting gift to Copper Dragon turns out to be their finest yet. I'm one person hoping Conqueror hangs around untouched and unthttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifweaked; and I'm sure after you drink it, you will too. It's on at Veritas now.
*And yes, I know it's William the Conqueror. But you get my point.
