Hop bomb, more late hops than you can shake a stick at and because we felt like it we dry hopped it as well. Made with pale malt and a touch of wheat to give it a creamy head, then hopped using New Zealand’s finest to give a tropical fruit and lime peel aroma.

Cask @ Bank of Conwy. Pours gold, white head. Aroma has light pale malt, a whisper of citrus. Taste is predictably light, pale malt leading, biscuity, dry. It is what it is.

Fra cask på Hopbunker Cardiff 2 Mai 17. Ser ut som eplejuice. Skum langs glasset. Tynn fruktaroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smak av karamell & smørmalt. Tørr avslutning.

Can. Light haze on this gold - amber beer, bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has reasonable minerally carbonation. Dry malts bring a very modest sweetness. A touch of fresh orangey citrus, plenty of citric pith. Bitterish lemon and floralness underneath. Dry finish, bitter pithy linger. Overall a bit dry, pithy and bitter. No NZ hop action for me either. Disappointing.
