A straw coloured beer with a tangy bitterness and tart grapefruit, gooseberry & pineapple flavours with orange and a hint of soft peach on the nose.
Four great Antipodean hop varieties plus some Simcoe for a heavyweight contribution from the USA.

Cask at the Royal Standard, Wooburn Common, 01/05/19. Clear golden blonde with a decent white head that dissipates to spotting and a swirl. Nose is lemon rind, citric tinged straw, airy malts, light breads. Taste comprises orange zest, light mineral bite, lemon rind, straw, toasted grains, light malt base. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close with balanced bitterness. Decent quaffable gold.

Cask gravity at Firkin Ale House Folkestone, clear gold lasting white head. Lime and citrus fruit aromas. Excellent condition. Flavour of lime zest with a touch of orange. Long bitter finish. Superb.
