A brilliant golden (blonde) ale with an especially pronounced hop character from its First Gold hops which offers clean refreshing flavours and aromas. With its well-structured malt body derived from finest Maris Otter malt, it is a full bodied satisfying drink with a hint of honey in the finish. It is marketed as Fair Comment at summer fairs in and around the Alnwick district.
