Zenith is a reasonably strong IPA, which is light and refreshing in colour with a distinct tropical aroma. Zesty fruit flavours are followed by a hefty kick from the triple blend of hops, which makes this ale particularly special.

Inspired by...The wordzenith is used to describe when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. This light, bright coloured IPA has the highest ABV of all our ales.

Very slightly hazy pale gold with a frothy/creamy white head but no major aroma. Medium bodied with a refreshing, zesty mouthfeel, fruity and fresh, a little kick of hop bitterness and a bittersweet finish

Taste comprises orange peel, light breads, airy malts, melon, lemon rind. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with mellow hop bitterness. Fine.

Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a golden orange with a small white head. Has a reasonable aroma of oranges with a hint of mashmallows. General first impression in the mouth is light and hoppy. Later this resolves to an initial flood of caramel which fades to traditional hops and summer fruits overlaid on a base of biscuits. Finish is quite bitter. This ais a quaffable English style IPA and not an ESB. I rather like it.

Fluffy white head stayed on a translucent, pale amber coloured slowly carbonating body. Confectionery & faint malt aroma. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated with a fuller cloying back. Pale malt, confectionery, light hops & caramel tastes with a sweeter fruity finish. Well balanced!

On cask at Romney's Gastro Pub, Kendal. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - lemon but dominated by caramel. Taste - more of the same really. Palate - creamy and light to medium bodied. The finish could be cleaner. Overall - so so.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Bright clear gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth light malts, really quite sweet. Sweet floral mid. Orange peel hops bring some semblance of balancing bitterness. Light semi dry finish. Overall interesting and drinkable.
