A gloriously zesty blonde, brewed using a combination of classic English hops from Hereford giving a subtle but complex bitterness and North American Yakima Valley hops releasing citrus, grapefruit zestyness. An easy drinking refreshing beer with a clean long finish, bringing a ray of sunshine to your glass and your day.

On tap at the Meadow, Coalbrookdale, Shropshire. Pours golden with not much bubbles and a decent head, some of which hangs around. The nose has honey and malt. The taste has grapefruit, malt and honey. The palate has a medium body and texture and almost, but not quite, a clean finish. Overall, a decent session ale, quite fruity but thereโs an undesirable malt overhang on the finish which grows as the pint goes down.

At Gbbf 2011. From the brewery bar. Pale gold with a slight haze lasting white head via a sparkler. Dusty hay hop aroma. Touch if sickly pale male malt in the middle. Its a cold golden ale with a touch of character. Its ok I guess but frankly also a touch dull. Some hop sting on finish. Ok touch of peach on the fruit.
