Our first seasonal of 2024 has a sparkling hue and a crisp body. Mango, citrus and lime cascade over a hop filled palate whilst biscuit malt flavours descend into a long, lingering and refined finish.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 18th September 2016. Clear gold with shallow off-white lacing foam. Luxuriant hop aroma with cheesy yeasts. Burst of tangy citrus hoppiness in-mouth with some nuttiness and savoury notes. A fruity touch. Nutty and fruity finish. Light body and mouthfeel. Exquisite.

Cask @ The Salopian. Pours clear gold, white head. Malty aroma. Taste is malt-lead, easy-going blonde with faint biscuity moments.

Gravity cask at the Walsall Camra, beer festival 2015. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is light zesty citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter with a lemon citrus, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Light bodied with soft carbonation.

2nd April 2015: half-pint in The Station, Oakengates. Typical Salopian brew, clean, clear and golden body wise: this blonde had the usual snow white head also. Mild citrus notes in the aroma and taste (again often a Salopian trait). Slight malty hint within the flavour but this is a refreshing, hoppy, summer beer in my eyes

Chelmsford Beer Festival. Hazy gold beer, little bubbly white head. Light palate, a little crisp. Pleasant citrus - a little lemon orange. Tiny bit of fresh grapefruit bitterness coming through in the dry finish and in the aftertaste. Very drinkable easy going beer.
