Hoppy Blonde AVA is a traditional golden ale with a continental lager kick. A mashup of the finest Marris Otter pale malts from the UK and Slovenian Bobek Hops cultivated in Alpine waters to create a real thirst quencher for those summer days.

330ml can. Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of fruity hops. Taste is malt, grains, earthy, grassy, some yeast. Light bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite OK.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O,Nails, Bristol 4/7/2016. Easy drinking pale ale, with some lager malts, touch of stone fruits, leafy hops and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Gravity cask at the Birmingham CAMRA Beer Festival 2015. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is light fresh hop, almost green hop. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a light citrus hop palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle courtesy of Geraint and Helen Consumed at home Sunday 22nd November 2015 Crystal clear gold with a filmy white head, if one was being picky you might suggest that there is a little haze. For the abv this shines quite nicely, the bitterness sticks throughout, it is pleasantly citrussy, ok it’s a bit thin at times but it is only 3.5% which even by UK standards is quite weak. Nice golden ale. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.4

Very lightly hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Light dry pale malts. Fairy strong pithy yellow grapefruit, lesser orange. Medium to strong bitterness. Lighter floral bitterness before a dry finish. Long strong bitter linger. This little beer packs a wallop. Very robust!

Bottle. Beermoth, Manchester. Hazy, slightly murky, gold. No real head. Musty orange. Some peach. A little minty hop. Taste is juicy bitter. Some dryness. Decent mouthfeel for the ABV. Some oiliness. Soft carbonation. Finishes lengthy, moderate bitter. Very sessionable.
