A Pale Ale showcasing UK grown Harlequin and Cascade hops backed up with a touch Citra and Motueka. Delicate, balanced and super easy drinking. The soft body carries flavours of peach, melon, and citrus peel, with a whisper of herbal spice. Bitterness is low to moderate, just enough to refresh without overpowering. A gentle malt sweetness rounds it out, offering a smooth, sessionable finish.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours golden amber with minimal scummy off-white head. Thereโs autumn fruits and citrus in the aroma. In the mouth it is somewhat bitter at the start and this bitterness increases. Flavour has mixed hops, corn and hints of caramel, with traces of tangerine and melon coming later. Bitterness lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is reasonable.

Cask at Pigs Ear. Clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Very soft pine. Very soft citrus, a whisper of peel. Light and semi dry finish. An okay affair. Bit sweet and bland.

Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a soft fruit biscuit aroma. Fresh and crisp, some fleshy fruit character up front, light biscuit malt with mellow hop bitterness to finish things off.
