This is a modfather of a beer brewed in honour of the great man. It is a delicious pale ale made with extra pale malt and oodles of Mosaic and Citra hops. Additional Citra during fermentation ensures it is hoppy throughout with a lovely citrusy finish.

Cask at Wellington, Brum. Hazy-opaque gold. Frothy foamy white head. Aroma has light citrus and not much else. Flavourwise it's virtually flavourlless. Lightest citrus sourness and smooth malts but all rather watered down. Light. Slick. Soft carbonation. A finish. Fell asleep after a couple of sips.

Cask at Brunswick, Crewe (not listed on RateBeer) Pours a pale yellow with a tight white head and good lacing. The aroma is just a vague hint of biscuits. So you are unprepared for the light fruitiness of the taste. Not the usual fruit suspects either, initially apricot and then peach. Aftertaste begins as just hoppy, but then fades to grapefruit and is dry and bitter. A nice beer – until the finish !

Cask half pint on 20th April 2017 in The Pheasant Inn, Wellington Shropshire. Blonde with a slight haze, snow white head. Far to citrusy for me, the Cascade and Citra hops completely overpowering what malt content there was. Had to give half away to my wife. Others may well love it, but not me. Scored objectively.
