Available June-August.
Extra pale ale malt and wheat malt combine with aromatic hops for a hoppy nose and aromas of tangerine and pineapple. A spicy very dry hop palate and a really dry lasting bitter finish.

Hand-pulled half-pint on 13th June 2024 in the Hope & Champion (the Spoons at Beaconsfield Motorway Services) on our way to Heathrow Airport. Pale golden body, mostly clean and clear, white crown. Floral and slightly citrussy in both the aroma and taste, pleasant enough, but far from exciting.

Cask @ North London Tavern, Kilburn, London. Golden-blonde with an extremely thin head. Hoppy and dry in character, although somewhat dirty in its nose. Has a light easy-drinking texture.

Cask at the Kew garden hotel. Pale golden coloured pour with a lasting white froth. Aroma is pale sweet grains, light orange note and little berry. Flavour is composed of base malts, semi sweet grains, light delicate citrus orange and berry hop. Simple beer well executed and very drinkable. Palate is light and soft, nice cask condition.
