Buxton - A true, ancient Spa town, stands where the Limestone and Gritstone bedrocks of the White Peak and Dark Peak meet. Pure, delicious mineral water flows constantly out of the ground. For centuries this water source ensured Buxton's prosperity, and is the inspiration for this beer, bringing English malts, Citra hops and the unsung-hero of beer - water together.

Bottle at home. Aroma is citrus, some lemon, hay, fresh hops, light malt biscuit, some tropical fruity notes. Flavour is medium bitter. Body is light to medium. A nice easy thirst quencher with a good citrus hoppy character.

330 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.1%. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of fruity hops, notes of mango and other tropical fruits. Fruity hops in the flavour too, citrus and pineapple, moderate bitterness. Good body for its low ABV.

330ml can. Cloudy gold, good sized head and retention. Fruity hoppy aroma and lightly spiced. Taste is citrus, light tropical, malt and peppery. What a combination! Moderate body and nice soft carbonation. A decent moderate bitterness in the finish. A great session strength beer.
