This blonde ale is definitely no shrinking violet. Three different hop varieties combine to give this beer attitude. Full of character with a fantastic depth of flavour, this is certainly one to look out for. Don’t be fooled though, this won’t turn your head inside out but it will
certainly leave you wanting more.

Cask at the White Lion Inn, Bridgnorth. Poured a clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head and lots of clingy lace. The aroma is malt, light citrus, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, fruity, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Hand-pulled half-pint in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates Shropshire on 5th Oct 2018. Clean golden/blonde body, white crown of foam on top. Citrus lead in both the aroma and taste; just another citrus blonde, fed up with them and this was fairly thin body depth wise too. Scored kindly.
