Light doesn’t need to be boring. A refreshing pale ale with a hint of hop and citrus finish. SO much taste from so little abv.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a thin white head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of earth and orange pith. Flavour of muted lemon and grain. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. There’s not much to it, but what’s there is fine.

Handpull cask at the Waverley Bar, Dumfries. Straw colour. Slightly hazy with a rocky white head. Floral citrus with a buttery/cheesy note. The taste, however, is quite pleasant: light bittersweet fading to a slightly more bitter intensity. Back-of-the-throat bitterness in the aftertaste lingers for some time. A good drink all in all. But could be so much better.

Bottled. Hazy golden, rich head, Distinct grapefruity hop aroma. Dry with cean, crisp mouthfeel and light body. Citric grapefruit dominates. Resiny bitter finish that sets in early. Severe, but non-aggressive bitterness. Quite refreshing.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden, London, 27 Nov 2014) Pale golden colour with brief, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, grass, grapefruit and biscuits. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, lemon peel, grass, resin, biscuity malt and a generous citric bitterness. Light body, quite dry. Fresh and highly drinkable with lots of taste and a generous hop presence. Nice one.
