A refreshing light pale ale with low bitterness. Using a malt base of Wheat and Vienna Malt it’s then 100% whirlpool hopped with Lemondrop and Cascade before being dry-hopped again using the same varieties.

Can at home. Wow, really impressed with this one. Pours a hazy orange, thick pillowy off white head. Nose is lively apricot, grapefruit, lemon zest. Flavour is the same, lovely amount of bitterness and carbonation, mouthfeel is a little thin. Impressive Pale Ale.
