Silver Champion Golden Ale, Champion Beer of Britain Competition
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.

Bottle courtesy of Deanso. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a thin white broken head. The aroma is grassy hop. The flavour is strong bitter, with a grassy nettle hop, malty, liqourice palate. Very drinkable. Ideal for a summer BBQ.

50cl. Thanks to Sean for this beer! The beer starts mild, very drinkable. the mainpart is mild as well, a bit too neutral. The aftertaste is not too long, a bit of typical Ale aroma is present, but not much. A bit malty sweetness, a bit "nothing". --> much too neutral, not mine. 7/12/6/6

Pours hazy gold into an English pint. Bright white head with little retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Mild citrus aromas. Soft with sweet caramel and nuts upfront turning to grapefruit in the lasting finish.
