This smooth blonde beer is very light in colour and uses cascade and first gold hops to give refreshing hoppy and complex grapefruit flavours on the palate

50cl bottle from Sainsbury’s Beer Hunt 2013 range. Clear gold lasting thin white head. Slightly pasteurised aroma. Some faint hop on the finish but the pasteurisation just ruins the beer. It’s a regular golden ale with some extra bitter hoppiness on the finish. But the heat treatment of the beer doesn’t do it any favours.

50cl bottle from Sainsbury’s Beer Hunt 2013 range. Pale amber with a billowing white head; light citrus aroma; soft in the mouth with a sharp grapefruit taste and grainy mouthfeel; and a gentle bitterness to finish. Fairly typical of the style.
