We brewed this Pale Ale with oats to enhance the body, that coupled with the lower ABV than our usual Pale Ale, you can expect great drinkability.

A modest haze on this yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, sweet enough for this brew. Light cooling pine hops give way to o very light but bright citrus and a passable Nelson winey grape, passable by 2024 standards. Trace of something tropical on the end. Light finish. Yeah, a definite all nighter this one.

Bottle from HoTM. It pours lightly hazy lemon yellow with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, floral, nip of pine, green fruits, gooseberry, white grape, star fruit, kiwi and a touch of orangey citrus. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, pleasing bitterness which lingers, green, pine needles, pithy, zesty citrus, green fruits, gooseberry, straw fruit, kiwi, white grape, grassy, floral and a clean malt base with a drying, grassy finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Lovely stuff. Fresh, fragrant and crushable.

Cask at the brewery taproom - Bermondsey. Pours mostly clear honey-gold with a soft, foamy white topping. Light sweet flavour with subtle pale biscuits, bread, mild grassy hops, some oily citrus rind. Light bodied with delicate carbonation toon; nice condition. Finishes with some bitter peel, lean pale malts. Delightful.
