Crisp and refreshing this pale ale is a favourite at festivals. Very hoppy with citrus tones and a dry bitter finish.

Bottle. Cloudy golden beer with a light head. The aroma is citrus, lightly hopped and bitter. The flavour is quite thin with a lightly hopped body and longish bitter finish. Overall an average bitter and hopped beer.
