Our flagship hoppy pale ale. Coming in at an extremely sessionable 3.8%, this beer is packed full of juicy tropical notes followed by a lovely citrus kick coming from the blend of Citra and Cascade hops in both the boil and the dry hopping stage. For such a low strength pale this beer certainly packs quite the punch!

Cask at GBBF 2018. It pours clear yellow gold with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is savoury, earthy, herbal, grassy, sweaty, coriander and cheese with bread. The taste is dry, bitter, straw, tannin, grassy, herbal, coriander, bit of smoked cheese, coriander with a drying finish.. Medium body and fine carbonation. Something not quite right about this in my eyes. Meh.

Pint on tap at the Crown and Anchor, Barnsley. Clear golden beer with thin white head. Good lacing. Light citric nose. Smooth, light, nutty taste. Short nutty sweet finish. Nice, easy-drinking ale if a bit uninvolving.
