Popular hops are in short supply, which has made us seek out new and interesting, experimental and lesser known varieties to brew with. Pale ale, caramel malts and wheat produce a light amber colour and complex malt profile to compliment a single Australian hop. Expect grassy, resinous aromas and vibrant tropical fruit flavours

500ml bottle from Green Dragon Ale House, Whitby. Gluten Free. Golden colour, white foam head leaving some lacing and aroma of malt, fruity, hoppy. Taste is malt, caramel, with tangy, fruity, woody, spicy hop resiny bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Almost clear gold - amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light, dry and has decent fine carbonation. Smooth but dry pale malts, a little sweetness. Dry floralness with a distinctly soapy edge. Pithy dry citrus brings a mild bitterness. Some grapefruit before a soapy dry finish. Bitter linger. It’s not awful but a long way short of muster.
