Sunshine was the first beer ever brewed by Monty’s back in 2009. A golden, moderately hoppy, floral ale packed full of citrus aromas. With a wonderfully distinctive, dry finish.

Bottle. Nose has a hint of Brett if I didn't know better. Taste is corn, caramel, floral and a very dry finish. The yeast is fruity and again the faint hint of Brett. Very interesting

Panda at home, thanks to Graham Grumbo, 14/09/24. Almost clear golden orange with a fast escaping white head. Nose is straw, grains, orange zest, hedgerow. Taste comprises pale malts, hint of apple, grass, hedgerow, herb. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Twiggy gold ... not great.
