Named after the lights of the aurora, regularly viewed in our northern skies.

Citrus flavours combine with hints of fresh bread: giving way to spice, citrus and apricot hoppiness. It has a delicious crisp hop character without being overly aggressive. Perfectly refreshing.

Hops: Perle, Hersbrucker, Saaz
Malts: Pale, Crystal, Malted Wheat

Cask pint in The Moon Under Water in Wolverhampton on 16th June 2018. Creamy white head on a clear golden body. Not a lot going on really, light blend of malty sweetness and mild hop bitterness. Pleasant enough but lacks depth, even if it's only 3.8% ABV.

Cask at Wetherspoons, Birmingham Airport. Poured a clear light golden colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is malt, some light toffee caramel, light dry hop. The flavour is light bitter with a light, watery malt, gluey toffee, light dry hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask at the Red Lion, Amblecote. Pours gold with a small head. Aroma is straw and lemon. Taste has straw malts. Simple, boring, forgetable.

Bottle, 500 ml at the Clachan, Dornie. Pours golden, white head. Malty, bit perfumy. Sweet, light bodied, light bitter finish. Bland and disappointing.
