Based on our classic pale ale, the increased hopping rate of Thoroughbred Legend takes it closer to a golden IPA in style. This beer blends the best of American Hops (Centennial, Chinook & Citra) on top of a Pale and Munich Malt base. It is this delicate, carefully designed mix of hops, each added to the beer at just the right time during brewing, that allows Thoroughbred Legend to give a strong hop ‘hit’ whilst not drowning out the other delicate flavours. The taste is lively and summery, with a refreshing fresh hop aroma and great body – it’s a beer that delivers on all levels.

Light haze on this gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has reasonable minerally carbonation. Light malts, clean and mildly sweet. Semi sweet floralness. Light orangey hop, touch of honey -orange. Very light hop spice. Finishes light and semi dry and leaves a mild bitter linger. BBE 11/2016 (thanks Drinks Well in Ripon!) but still a decent beer.

750ml bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Clear gold. Messy, sticky, white head. Leggy and oily in the glass. Looks like a 10%er! Nose has spicy biscuit malts. Orangey hop. Some lemon and lime. Hint of dried apricot. It’s no juicy banger, but overall it’s fruity and well balanced. Taste is fruity, oily, zesty bitter. Soft biscuit sweetness throughout. Robust, oily mouthfeel. Feels a tad heavy, mind. Long, fruity bitter finish, with some resiny characteristics coming through.

Shared 750ml bottle. Clear and golden with a decent white head. Grapefruit aroma, floral, grapefruit and a little vanilla flavour, nicely balanced. Thick, slightly syrupy mouth feel which I liked. Good beer

Clear golden beer with a white head. Aroma is light citrus hop. Flavour follows suit: tart, grapefruity, bitter hop, a splash of malt comes through as well. For the strength and style it’s quite crisp and not sickly. Could perhaps have been chilled a bit more.
