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.

Cask at the Bear (JDW), Maidenhead. Plae amber with a loose white head; fresh grassy aroma; grainy body with a citrusy taste; and a crisp finish. A pleasant but unexceptional golden ale.
