A clean tasting, refreshing, easy to drink premium bitter. Made using the palest English malt (sometimes known as lager malt), with the addition of finest Slovenian Styrians and Czechoslovakian Saaz hops. A light and fruity beer with unmistakeable citrus notes.

Clear golden color, small white head. Grassy, sweet malty, a bit yeasty aroma. Crisp, some peppery hoppyness and honey, some fruits. Quite boring and lager-like.

(bottle, as Butcombe Blond Calassic Pale Bitter, 4.5% abv) Hazy, pale golden colour with a short blond foamy head. Sweet pale malt accompany with a good dash of citrus-fruity, flowery and slightly woody hops. Mildly bitter flavour, light bodied with a smooth carbonation. Dry character with a light underlying malty sweetness, aromatic hops profile of a cornucopia full of citrus flavours; dry and bitter-sweet finish with a good and hoppy duration. Pleasant (09.VIII.09).

Cask handpull at County Hotel, Ashford. Pale gold colour with lasting white head. Citrusy hop aroma with juicy malt in the mouth and then lovely citrus fruit on the end. Lots of lemon and grapefruit and bits of tangerine. Lovely stuff.

Cask conditioned at a JDW pub near Farringdon Station, London. This was served too cold but was pleasant enough. Aroma was pale gold with a decent white head. Aroma was very light, with a mere hint of hops. This was a bit grainy in the mouth, with some sweetness and a bitter finish.
