A classic country ale, First Call is brewed with a single hop variety for purity and character. The dwarf hop First Gold grows in low hedgerows enabling a better quality harvest. A clean, fresh, distinctive beer with hints of orange and spice from the hop.

Quite a fresh citrusy aroma. However itโs very dry and bitter on the palate. A flavour dominated by the hop.
