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.

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.
