This light chestnut-brown session beer has a fresh, grainy, biscuity nose with a hint of fresh citrus fruit in the background. The palate tingles with a stunning counterplay between grainy, biscuity maltiness and a sprightly citrusy fruity centre and a suggestion of mint. The refreshing finish is a Challenger hop-driven bittersweetness with a lingering dryness, while traces of biscuity maltiness, a whisper of chocolate (from a pinch of chocolate malt in the mash) and fruit also make an appearance. The sort of finish that says ‘have another sip’.

Hops: Goldings, Challenger, First Gold and Styrian Bobek

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF, 2004] A hazy amber beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of diacethyl. The flavor is weird, maybe because of the diacethyl.
