We’ve set out to prove that an easy drinking, everyday beer can still be special.
Layers of US hops are set against a backbone of British malts, so what this beer lacks in strength, it makes up for in character.
Look out for fresh flavours and aromas of pine, peach, lychee & citrus fruits, tempered by a smoothly rounded bitterness to leave you wanting more.

One-third-pint, draught at Vocation & Co. Spotty lacing from a covering white head. Near-clear golden body. Moderate ripe citrus fruity smell. Lemony hops to the taste buds featuring moments of peaches and grain. Drying end with smooth bitterness. Satisfying. (Hebden Bridge 04.07.2018).

Pours an almost clear light gold colour with a medium sized foamy white head that quickly settled to a thin layer. A sweet fruity aroma, sweet oranges, peach and tropical. A sweetish toasty malt taste some citrus fruitiness and bitterness. Good.

330ml can. Murky golden with a foamy white head. Aroma is tropical, peach, lychee, citrus, pale malts with an almost a butterscotch like sweetness to it. Taste is tropical, peachy, lychee, surprisingly sweet pale malts, which again seems almost like butterscotch, but finishes with low-moderate bitterness. Light-medium body, average carbonation. Unsure if that sweetness was intentional as it seems a tad too much. Either way, not a bad beer especially for one sub 4%.

Cask: hand-pulled pint in the Leyton Technical on 11th March 2017. Golden pour, smooth white foaming head. Earthy, more bread than butter with a decent hop profile that leans towards citrusy in both the nose and taste. Liked it.

On cask at Cloisters. Appearance - golden with a nice lacy head. Nose - light lemon and pale malt. Taste - a touch more lemon, orange even. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - solid.
