Our golden ale bursts with zesty lemon and sweet floral aromas. The honey-like malt and tropical fruit base culminate into a satisfyingly rounded finish. This is Yorkshire’s beer of outstanding natural beauty!

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is malty with hints of honey and corn. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy, but slightly sharp too with a little underlying bitterness. Floral hops are the ain flavour plus hints of spice and ginger. Bitterness comes through in a slightly dry finish. This is pleasant but not particularly memorable.

Cask @ Little Ale House, Harrogate. Clear golden with a creamy head. It’s dryish hoppy with a light berry-fruitiness in both aroma and taste.
