UK hop pale. Brewed to showcase a hop that we helped develop, and in fact named – Olicana, after the Roman settlement that became Ilkley. Although from UK stock, this hop punches with the best the USA can grow and has huge grapefruit and citrus flavour.

(Cask at HBF2015) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had fruitiness, citricness and tangerine. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, spiciness, grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A bit too much hop forward brew but still tasty.
