Our palest beer yet - the result of using lager malt for a more gentle malt flavour. This beer is all about the American hops, whose citrus aromas burst out with a wonderful freshness. The hops dominate the flavour, as you’d expect, and lead into a crisp dry finish which leaves the palate clean and ready for another pint!

Cask handpull at Fat Cat Norwich. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Some hoppiness. Them the hops really kick in. Hoppy citrus bit also something deeper. Pretty decent.

Moderate to medium sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, average carbonation. Nice biscuity, husky, slightly spicy, bitter finish. Quite decent.

Cask @ Fighting Cock, Bradford. Golden coloured with a small head. Hoppy in the main, certainly in its taste, with some maltiness in its aroma.

Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. This is one of those occasions when I wonder if I’m drinking from the same cask as everyone else. To me, this was full of blackberry fruit, rather than citrus. Nevermind, here goes. A slightly hazy pale amber pour with a tight cream head; aroma of purple fruit; smooth in the mouth and medium bodied, with nicely balanced fruit and bitterness; and then some sweetness to finish.
