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.

A slightly hazy pale yellow pour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and floral; lemon and mango. A light sweet fruity taste, lemony and sweet herbal flavours. A light dry citrusy bitterness in the finish.

Dan's Stag. Wild Beer taproom. Keg. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and has modest fine carbonation. Airy malts, mildly sweet. Semi sweet floral mid. Mild citrus with a touch of pith. Fairly dry finish. Okay, bit bland perhaps.
