Lightfoot is named after a brewery in Masham which Theakstons took over in 1919. The Lightfoot and Theakston families were very close and indeed linked through marriage and therefore it was a natural amalgamation of two well-established businesses. For many years it was rumoured that Theakstons took over Lightfoot because they had a better cricket team something that was deemed unacceptable to the brewers in Red Lane! Lightfoot has always been a popular seasonal ale in fact so much so that in 2010 it became a permanent addition to our range and is now available all year round. Lightfoot is a refreshing golden pale ale, brewed using prime English Barley and wheat, continental hops, our famous Masham yeast and water from the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Its light, fruity flavour makes it an ideal accompaniment to light curries, fish and salads and for a hot summer’s day perfect just on its own.

Pours a clear and very pale golden color, topped with a minimal white head. Mild malty aroma, some pleasant hoppy notes also present. Taste starts with a moderate sweetness, very watery and light, but with a surprising bitterness in the finish and enough taste. Not that bad.

Bottle. A lighlty hazy beer topped by a small, white head. It’s lightly fruity on the nose, piney and with some butterscotch notes. It’s fruity and lightly flowery and grassy on the palate, with a pleasant carbonation level. Medium body.Some bitterness, especially towards the end. Nothing special going on here. It’s not off in any way, but it’s not very interesting either. 140815

Pale golden color, small white head. Rough woody hoppy aroma, not very strong. Light bodied. Starts watery, with light fruity notes. Finish has sticky woody hoppyness. Like name says: lightfoot. Almost like a lager.
