Pale Session Bitter. Hopped with 100% New Zealand hops. As you would expect a Grapefruit, Citrus and Punchy floral aroma with good clean bitterness.

Cask at CBC, London on 16th August 2013. Pale gold with thin white foam and initial lacing. Fruity, yeasty aroma. Bitter hops in-mouth - grassiness and leafy bitterness abound along with fine floral and fruity notes. Bitter finish with background fruits on a smooth mouthfeel and light body.

Cask at Clerkenwell. Orange-gold with lace. Nose is orange, diacetyl, butterscotch, spicy pepper. Flavors of creamy fruit, toffee, peach, mango, pepper. Too much diacetyl ruins it. Estery, creamy, with a very bitter finish.

Aroma: Muted aroma or orange, lime and biscuit. Quite sweet.
Appearance: Hazy pale golden body with a medium white head that holds really well. Average carbonation. Nice lacing.
Taste: Leafy, green hops. Well balance of soft citrus and pale malt, although the flavours aren’t very well defined. Easy drinking and low bitterness.
Palate: Thin to medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Light carbonation fizz.
Overall: A decent low ABV Golden Ale but not very unique.
