Malts: Marris Otter
Hops: Cascade, Challenger, Citra, Simcoe, Mosaci
Tasting Notes: In 2018 we changed things about a bit, we used all American hops. Pleasantly fruity with plenty of citrus and tropical fruits. Doesn't feel like a 4.5%, Same say it went down 'too' easy. Massive dry hop bill. Infact its the heaviest dry hop bill we have ever used.

Cask at GBBF�17, day one, 08/08/17. Clear golden blonde with a well appointed off white covering. Nose is melon, apricot, orange jelly, straw. Taste drops from a decent nose ... tangy citric rinds, straw, bread, grains. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with a modicum of hop bitterness. So so affair for the style ... more an adequate golde.
