This blonde brew delivers a collection of flavours that mingle in the mouth combined with just the right amount of bitterness. We’ve deliberately used hops with a low alpha level, which means we can use a lot more of them. It’s this delicate balance that gives it such a wonderful ‘hoppy bouquet’. There are more hops in here than you’d think!

Cask @ Microbar, Manchester. Golden with a creamy head. Well-balanced session ale with a light, easy-drinking texture. Not high on any particular flavours but feels good in the palate.
