A light and refreshing pale golden beer with hints of banana and pineapple. Crafted with a fine blend of the best English malted barley and mainly fresh local Fuggles hops from Puttenham but with some aroma hops at the end of the boil. A good balanced beer with a long dry finish and a sense of sweetness.

Cask at the 2014 GBBF. Clear golden coloured pour aroma is homey earthy sweet, tea. Flavour is mineral honey and hedgerow hop. Utterly boring.

Bottle from Waitrose. Label states 4.4%. Sweet malt, some fruit. Slightly fusty. Not my favourite style of beer, really.
