Brewed with 9 Kent bred and grown hops:

WGV, Early Choice Goldings, Bramling Cross, Progress, Target, Pilgrim, First Gold, Sovereign and Finchcock's Spirit of Kent

The beer pours golden honey with a white head of tight bubbles that dissipates to leave lacing around the glass.

The aroma is hoppy, lemony, honey, peach and dried apricots.

The palate is clean, with sweet malt, lemony and tropical pineapple notes, honey with zesty citrus notes. There is a dry lingering hop bitterness on the finish.
Brewed by Westerham Brewery Company Ltd. for M&S.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the Paddington M&S. Pours totally clear good, highly effervescent, with a foamy white head. The nose has some biscuity pale malts, subtle citrusy hops, slight grain, lemon rind, hay. Light sweet flavor with pleasant crackery and biscuity pale malts, some bitter grain husk, mellow grass, dirty hay, rindy citrus. Light bodied with average carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, nips of resin, more grass, lightly toasted straw, pale bread, grain, rind. Solid little sessioner.
