A truly pale blonde in colour, this beer is heavily hopped to give a really refreshing citrus-hop kick. Pineapple, Peach & Grapefruit hop flavours abound in levels that are such that you don’t need to read the tasting notes to spot them…

Cask at the Emperor, Cambridge. Light to mid-gold with a fairly big white head and masses of lacing. Grapefruit and lime with a touch of soap. Taste is bittersweet and moderately citrussy. But there’s that soapy note again (sigh). Good beer, but why do so many goldens taste so soapy? (I know why, but I want to know why it isn’t fixed). Still quite good despite its faults and probably not being in the best condition.
