A full on USA hop explosion, with Columbus, Williamette, Galaxy & Citra combining beautifully with clear Loch Ness Water & 'Nessie'- our very own yeast strain. Hits of bright gold, with pine & citrus aromas & flavours, balanced by a malty sweetness.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Clear gold. Big, bubbly, messy, sticky, white head. Buttery malts. Some lemon. Taste is sweet and buttery. Some grassy bitterness. Palate is all of that. Nah. Hard work, buttery and bitter. There’s nothing in between.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - floral with light citrus. Taste - interesting oranges with green stalky notes. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - a good ale. Perhaps a touch too sweet and tangy on the finish.

Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and minerally crisp. Malts are light and dry and bring dry cream sweetness. Hops are mildly pine and light orange citrus. Little aniseed before a light semi dry finish. Hangs together fairly well.
