When Sue Hayward asked us if it we'd brew her multi-award winning famous pale ale and told us she'd give us the recipe and even come along to "supervise" the brew, how could we refuse? Keeping the Waen name alive is our priority and we're brewing this beer unlike our own; the fermentation temperature is different, the recipe looks very little like one of ours, and the whole ethos of the brew has been followed as closely to the original as possible. Containing a smidge of real lemon extract and lots of citrussy cascade hops for a citrus explosion

Very dense & thick light-yellow head, lacey, over fully hazy ochre-golden beer. Fruity, citrussy hops; lemon, but also other citrus. Oxydized grains, much less hops and citrus than the nose indicated. Finish has quite some sweetness, sugary malts. Quite slick for such a low ABV, doesn’t feel watery at all. Nice, but the nose stands perpendicular on the taste.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, thin white head. Palate is light, semi dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweet. Nice lemony citrus. Light floralness. Light dry finish leaves a lemony bitter linger. Not bad.
