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
