A pale amber light bitter with a rewarding floral hop character from the WGV and East Kent Golding hops. Now our most popular brew.

Cask at GBBF 2010. A dark golden beer with a thin yellowish head. The aroma has notes of citrusy fruits, malt, and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and hops. I find it boring.
