A golden ale with tropical fruit flavours and a distinctive hop aroma. We set out to create a great tasting gluten free beer that everyone can enjoy and in 2017 we improved the recipe not compromising on the aroma or taste. We think you'll love it even more !

A reddish beer, a head is quite big and blond. Aroma has fruitness of lemon and biscuits. Taste has biscuity maltyness, some lemon and wood. Almost medium bodied, strong and smooth carbonation. Refreshning and easy beer. Quite nice.

On cask at the Armoury. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - orangey very orangey. Taste - more orange with a porridge thing going on at the back. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - the taste isn’t exciting but it’s balanced.

50cl bottle from a Londis store in Sunningdale. Pale amber with a loose cream head; the aroma has grains and citrus; rather thin in the mouth with a light malty body; and a fresh grassy bitterness. Pleasant, but not really a premium bitter.

Cask at GBBF ’15, day 1, 11/08/15. Clear golden blonde with a decent off white covering. Nose is bready, straw, musty fruit, light citrics. Taste comprises much the same, pale malts, grain, citric drizzle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So very so ... good condition but nothing at the business end.
