Extra American pale, brewed with US Citra, Amarillo and Cascade hops. The light strength and colour come from a simple malt base of extra pale Maris Otter barley and a pinch of the delicate Vienna malt.

Bottle from a relative at Christmas. Now almost three months out of date. Aroma is quite deep musty hop, the US hop variants coming through. Strange transluscent colour. Taste is fine, watery-ish US hops. Easy drinking (watery side). This is a tough one, it has a jolly overall vibe with hops and easy drinking but it just feels a bit disjointed and messy. It's not bad but probably much better on cask.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Light haze on this paleish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, low carbonation. Sweet malts and sweet floralness. Sweet ripe citrus. Pretty clunky in all departments.

Cask handpull at The Fuggles Taproom Tunbridge Wells. Clear deep gold amber colour lasting white head. Fruit salad flavour. Some drying hop on the finish. Some grapefruit. Mostly like a tin of fruit salad so some pear too. Decent enough.
