Wow that’s good stuff. Lovely bright citrus hop, supportive pale malts, clean minerality, just enough sweetness. Lean finish, some lemon rind, pithy grapefruit. Superb.

Loose white head on an unclear vivid golden coloured body.
Wine gums aroma.
Medium bodied, smooth & soft over the tongue with a lightly carbonated cloying back.
Melon, boiled sweets, yeast & metallic tastes with a tangy hopped finish.
That's a tasty Pale.

Bottle. Beer Stop Dronfield. Hazed pale gold. Stunner of a swede. (Pic doesn’t do it justice). Nose has clean malts with pineapple weed. Pineapple flesh. Sweet pink grapefruit. Well ripened citrus fruit. Bit of ripe sweet white grape. Taste semi sweet with a perfect amount of pithy citrus bitterness. This got swallowed down. Ripe fleshy citrus bitterness to finish. Oof.
