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…

Pours clear yellow with a bubbly head. Aroma of citrus, grass and caramely malts. Taste is light, fruity and bitter with massive amounts of hops, hints of citrus and grapefruit. Finish is extremely hoppy, bitter and slightly fruity with long lasting hoppy notes. Nice.

(Cask at Castle, Chancery Lane, London, 18 July 2011) Pale yellow colour with brief, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, lemon peel and grass. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, lemon and generous doses of grassy, citric hops in a dry finish. Light malt character, quite dry. Tasty and refreshing. Nice one.
