This smooth blonde beer is very light in colour and uses cascade and first gold hops to give refreshing hoppy and complex grapefruit flavours on the palate

Hand-pulled half-pint on 12th April 2023; Market Tavern, Durham. Golden/blonde body, thin white head. All a bit subtle (or bland depending on your stance) to be honest. Slight citrus leaning with a semi-sweet malty back bone, but lacked oomph and any strong flavours.

GBBF Day 4. Cask. Light haze on this paleish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Nice condition. Light sweetish pale malts. Light sweetish floralness. A modest lemony tangerine citric vibe. Light finish. Quite a sweet golden.

On cask at the Library in Durham. Appearance - golden with a very slight hop haze and a nice head. Nose - lemon and malt. Taste - more lemon barley water. Some herbs on the finish. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - decent example of the style.
