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.

Tight white head left a frothy cover on an unclear straw coloured body. Punchy aroma with nectarine & hops. Medium bodied, smooth with a highly carbonated dry back. Nectarine, pithy, lemon & grapefruit tastes with a long bitter finish. Clean & Fresh

Can from Growler & Cans' stall at the West Byfleet Farmer's Market. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a pine streak. Opaque light gold. Foamy translucent white head. Light bitter with a dollop of sour citrus. Light bodied. Slick but thin. Flat carbonation. Dry slightly astringent finish. It's certainly sessionable just not particularly interesting.
