Pale Ale with Citra, Simcoe and Mosaic.
A recipe that's been with us from the very start. Layers of orange peel and juicy grapefruit, a smooth bitterness and top notes of pine, refreshing apricot and passion fruit; this is a perfectly balanced session beer.
NOTE: this beer was originally branded as one of Left Handed Giant's from 2017-2020, at which point it was switched to LHG Brewpub as it became their house beer. From 2024 it has been brought back to the main Left Handed Giant brand.

Half-pint, draught at Thomas Tallis Alehouse. Shared with Finn. Cloudy golden body, lacing rings from a fair white head. Rip fruity nose, grassy. hop fruity taste with moments of peaches, grass, and citrus. Mid-sweet fruity ending. Easy to drink. Just alright. (Canterbury 11.02.2023).

440ml can at EDP, Kuala Lumpur, November 2022. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, light sweet, with a fresh, crisp, light juicy citrus, lemon lime, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Can, courtesy of Dann and Martha. Hazed lemon gold. Fine swirl of sticky white foam. Nose has crisp malt. Citrus juice. Touch of fresh pine. Some yellow melon. Taste is a little sweet with a good punchy citrus bitterness. Light and very easy drinking. Fine carbonation. Crisp bitter finish. Chugged good.
