Explorer is light and refreshing, suffused with the aromas of a grapefruit grove. The citrus attack will burst on your palate as the hops deliver their fruity bitterness.
Available in 500ml bottle and in keg in selected Wetherpoon outlets.
Pale Ale malt is used to provide the biscuity backbone of this blonde beer but it’s the hops that give it its personality. We use two American hops, grown in the Yakima Valley in Washington. These hops, called Columbus and Chinook, add wonderful grapefruit flavours to the beer.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is pale malts and a bit of lagery wet paper bag. Flavor is more with the dryish pale malt and more of the wet paper bag. Taste awfully like a lager without being one.

Cask at the Willow Walk, 05/02/14. Clear pale blonde with a moderate off white covering. Nose is orange, toasted malts, lemon sherbet, light mango, touch of hoppage. Taste comprises mandarin, caramel, orange pith, straw. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Ok GB, the new world hops come through a little, could do with a touch more.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with airy but stable white head. Clear aroma of hops, fruit and malt. Bitter, hoppy flavour, with fruity and floral notes. Medium carbonation. A little rough finish, with traces of needles and hops. Slightly watery but OK.
