ABV: 3.8% IBU: - Ticks: 20
A well balanced light, golden, hoppy bitter. Grapefruit nose and citrus flavours give way to a mellow, slightly sweet after-taste. Complex malt character ensures it drinks well beyond its abv. Easy to drink and annoyingly moreish.

Cask. Clear yellow with a white head. Sweet citrusy nose. Light body, sweet fruits but dominated by a rather distinct citrusy hoppiness that leaves a fairly solid bitterness. 170110

Cask@GBBF 2009. Yellow color, small white, some lace. Fruity-citrusy hoppy aroma. Reasonably good body for 3.8% beer. Citrus-fruity hoppy flavor. Some acidic citrus in the aftertaste. This is above average golden ale - Brampton seems to be quite ok brewery (after sampling two of their beers).
