A dry-hopped version of our classic Byker Blonde chosen by the customers of one a local venue as the most flavorful of a range we trialed to explore different hop combinations.
Staged dry hopping with Citra pellet gives an additional depth and high citrus notes.
We really like this version!

Half-pint, draught, shared with Finn at Brinkburn Street Brewery. Patch surface over a next-to-clear golden body, clingy lacing. Moderate smell of mild floral fruits, dry. Peachy flavours with cereal malts. Short malt-fruity tail. Average, more or less. (Byker - Newcastle upon Tyne, 20.03.2024).

Hand-pulled half-pint at the Brinkburn Street Brewery, Bar and Kitchen on 14th April 2023, part of a rather large 'Flight' of six halves! Clear golden body, weak white head. Citrusy from start to finish, not my thing.
