Fiery is the child for which this beer is named. Like this child, our Pale Ale is beautiful: slightly red, copper colored beer with a fairly even blend of malt sweetness and hop aggressiveness. Rather indicative of the Pales that can be found in London. The hop blend lends an earthy, woody character and complexity.

Pours cloudy pale orange with two inches of off-white cream. The head gradually settles, leaving thick patches of lace on a Harp nonic. The head eventually forms a thick, pillowy cap that holds for the duration.
The aroma is sweet, filled with orchard fruits (think apples and apricots). A background canvas of light pine tar is a bit earthy.
Bitterness is higher than expected, while sweetness is mild and late. The middle has a nice fruitiness, best described as green apples. The finish is very dry, with moderate bitterness, and fades at first before returning for a late final burst.
This one has a medium body with the texture of coarse denim. Alcohol is modest, as expected, and there is a fizzy, ample carbonation.
Despite some stylistic issues, I very much enjoyed this beer. I sat back with an aged sharp cheddar with crunchy crystals and herbal salami. It made for a pleasant summer afternoon snack. Both the cheese and the beer had brighter flavors, while the salami and the beer were made richer together and the beer became more bitter.
