Another small-batch gem sneaked out by our pesky brewers, this time featuring US Chinook hops. A tart, bitter thirst-quenching pale – just great for Summer!

Cask GBBF 2018. It pours clear golden amber with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, oily, bright, grape, sappy, resin, biscuit and bread. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, oily, sappy, earthy, pine, resin and a touch of citrus peel with a slick, oily finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Oily mouth feel. Could be a bit bright and more expressive. Fine.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth and fairly dry palate, modest fine carbonation. Dry and mildly grainy pale malts. Dry ripe citrus. Some peel. Light dry finish. A big disappointment from CV, desperately uninspiring.
