Beacon is a pale ale brewed for openness + flow. Gentle malt sweetness supports bright citrus + mango, with a subtle note of blackberry + floral, earthy hop character bringing balance + lift. Low in strength but generous in flavour, it’s a beer designed for long afternoons, easy hosting + conversation that carries on; expressive, refreshing, and complex.
A natural beacon, shaped by time + quiet rhythm, for shared pints + unhurried talk.
Malts: Mayfield Malt, Wheat, Caramalt, Dextrin
Hops: Crosby Hops Cascade, Willamette, Citra
Yeast: Windsor

Panda at home, thanks to the Bearded Avenger, 26/04/2026.
Almost clear light golden blonde with a thin white cap that escapes to a swirl.
Nose is grass, herb, pale malts, herb.
Taste comprises citric tinged straw, airy malts, grass, hedgerow, light astringency.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
A 'twiggy' APA ... rather basic and unrewarding.

Cask at EBF Easter 26. Clear light gold. Mm thick translucent white head around the inner rim. Aroma has soft light stone fruit with a slightly sour and woody bitter edge. Flavourwise it's tangy and sour - citrus and sherbert but also watered down seeming. Slightly chalky. Underlying light malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Refreshing but basic.
