Cyborg is a rich golden ale. A combination of goldings and pilgrim hops that provide a citrus aroma, with a bitter taste.

Bready sweet malty with some light citrus expression, straw, hay, more doughy sweet malts, grain, bitter hoppy finish. Nice gold, and top guy serving giving us 2 thirds for 1 token! ??

Golden beer, fruity aroma. Taste is sweet, fruity. A bit sickly. Too sweet for my taste but it’s not bad.

Cask, half-pint, shared with Finn at Silk Mill Cider & Ale House. Clear amber coloured body, filmy layer, crocheted lacing. Aromas of toffee and herbal hops. Juicy fruit and juice malty flavours. Medium bodied. Quite nice and food friendly (Derby 21.02.2016).
