Two of our favourite hops, Amarillo & Citra do the talking here. A stripped back pale malt base gives the stage to these two giants of the hop world. Updated for 2023 with an addition of Citra Cryo right at the end of fermentation for an extra bright Citra zing.
Designed for easy drinking and good times, so good we named it after the breweries cobbled street that's been our home for the last 10 years.

Cask at the Smithfield Tavern, MCR, 17/05/2025.
Clear golden topped with a lasting white cap ... lacing ensues ... a good looking beer.
Nose is light breads, straw, melon, pale malts.
Taste comprises mellow citric zest, grass, soft malts, straw.
Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close.
Looks and feels great but a little simplistic at the business end.

Cask ale, half pint at Smithfield Market Tavern (Blackjack). Shared with Finn. Clear, warm golden body, filmy layer, good lacing. Moderate smell of floral fruits. The taste profile has got a fine balanced bite of citrus and mild malty sweetness. Fair fruity bitterness to the ending. Pretty alright. (Manchester, 21.03.2024).
