A small beer with big flavour. Cold Spark is brewed with 100% Citra, easily our favourite hop. We've also added lactose to add creaminess and body.

Keg at the Euston Tap, East Lodge, 31/08/17 as Big Smoke Pale Citra. Hazed yellow blonde with a decent off white cap that dissipates in time. Nose is tangerine, straw, toasted grains, bready notes, light melon. Taste comprises lemon drizzle, hint of spruce, pithy citrics, tangerine, toasted grains, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close dashed with juicy hop bitterness. Decent hoppy pale for the ABV.

Keg at Lyric. It pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, breezy, tropical fruits, mango, peach, sweat, apricot and bread. The taste is crisp, bitter, quite fresh, pissy, tropical fruits, straw, hay, grapefruit and orange rind with a dry finish. Light - medium body and moderate carbonation. Quite bright and rather drinkable. A solid lower abv offering.
