A very pale and hoppy ale. Using Chinook hops, a mellow bitter makes way for a distinctive citrus/grapefruit aroma. Tiger Rut is Millstone’s most popular beer and is the ‘little brother’ of True Grit. Little known fact:

'Tiger Rut' is an anagram of 'True Grit'.

Cask @ The Salopian, Shrewsbury. Pours clearish gold, white head. Aroma is fruity, taste is jammy apricot and not what I’d consider typifies the Chinook hop, but it’s nice enough.

On cask at Firefly, Worcester. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - lemon and pale malt. Taste - more lemon barley water. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - a decent ale.

25th April 2015: gravity poured half-pint at a beer festival in the Duke of York, Lichfield. Another citrusy blonde, fed up with them. This was not as bad as some, but I would like brewers to move on now and leave this fad behind. Scored objectively.

Cask @ Booth Wood Inn, Rishworth. Blonde with a small creamy head. Hopped with both citrus and floral notes. 10 years later it's still pretty much the same, nice and easy drinking, this time at the Navigation Inn, Dobcross, with a thicker head.

Sample at the Black Eagle, Birmingham. Golden pour with white head. Unfortunate bad aroma of sick. Nicer flavour with citrus, tropical fruit, wheat and yeast. Not bad but shame about the smell

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Well, this beer came out of nowhere. Pours clear yellow with a fine, white foam head. Perfect golden ale aroma: crispy straw, light citrus and faint, doughy bread. Medium sweet flavor, lemon zest and rind, fresh straw, light grass. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Crisp finish with light, tangy citrus, lemon, straw and hay, lasting grassy bitterness. An exceptional golden ale.
