A beautiful sparkling pale with an immediate burst of fresh hops followed by complex flavours of tropical and stone fruits. Shut your mouth, what more to say?

How Soon Is Now? by The Smiths was unfathomably released as a 'B' side track initially. This is 'A' side stuff, a golden coloured smoothish cask pour, although on the weaker side of things. It packs in quite a lot of soft tasting exotic fruit though, with aroma to a similar level.

Pale yellow gold with a chill haze, a bubbly white head and a soft fruity aroma. Crisp and fresh, vibrant fruit hops up front, tropical notes with some cereal malt beneath, finishes dry and bittersweet with a little hop kick.
