A classic bitter ale that, as Rob once said, is suitable for drinking at any time of the day. Not that we at all endorse a lunchtime beer, save it for special occasions, but you know what we mean - this beer is light and refreshing. At only 3.6% it's one of our lowest ABV beers in a bottle.
Starting with a simple malt bill of British grains we build on this with rather a lot of soft, delicate and low alpha hops from the UK, Poland and Germany for a layered and complex, yet still ever so refreshing, hoppy finish.
Like most of our beers the flavours build and build the further through the bottle(s) you get.
Malts: Maris Otter, Best Pale, Wheat
Hops: British, German, Polish

(Cask at GBBF, London, 7 Aug 2008) Golden yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, grassy nose with slightly earthy, citrussy hops. Fruity taste with notes of citrus, peaches and slightly soapy, citrussy hops in the finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Decent bitter.
