A premium pale ale with lots of aroma, bitterness and hop flavour. Made with late "Galaxy" hops from Australia, then balanced with plenty of "Brewer's Gold" from Germany.

Cask at GBBF 2013. Pours a pale golden colour with a slightly off white head. Hoppy aroma with caramel and floral and citrus notes. Mildly bitter and somewhat dry finish. Medium body and low carbonation.

(Bottle) Clear golden beer. Has a mild smell of blended hops. With a bit of liveliness on the tongue, the flavour is hoppy as you’d expect but in the bottled form at least not particularly strong. Quite pleasant and the hop flavour does linger. Very drinkable.

Half, by hand pump, shared at NWAF. Clear copper coloured body, film-type layer. Half-dry fruity nose. Some fresh taste of lemony hops with smooth malty sweetness behind. Mid-dry, bitter endnotes. Quite well bodied. Satisfying (Manchester, 25.01.2013).

Cask at Hilden Fest 2012 - 25/08/12. Dark amner with a decent off white head that retains well. Aroma of hops, fruits and a little spice. Tastes sweet with summer berry fruits, tangy tropical fruits but well balanced, Dry finish,

Crosse Keys Spoons. Clear gold beer. Residual white head. Light dry palate. Moderate carbonation. Nice sweet and bitter hops! Some aniseed in the background. Tropical fruits in the foreground, mango and others, fruity! Then a bitter pine kick. Finishes semi dry. Tasty and highly drinkable.
