This refreshing pale ale with heaps of hops and an explosion of fresh citrus flavour notes pays homage to a remarkable aircraft and an example of innovative British design - the English Electric Lightning - the only all-British supersonic jet fighter which was an iconic sight and roar in Lincolnshire skies until 1988.
