Our only single-hopped brew! This light golden coloured ale is brewed using only Pale Ale malt and Bramling Cross hops for both aroma and bitterness.

A light refreshing ale with a good hop bitterness and aroma on a background of malt sweetness. Dazzlingly delicious!

Draft at Cask& Barrel. Pretty unmemorable. Coppery with a bit sweetness but otherwise unspectacular.

Cask, handpull at the Malt and Hops?, Edinburgh, with Craig, Jan, Charlotte & Loz, 29.10.10 Pours amber with a big white fluffy head. The aroma isn’t up too much. Taste is low-med bitterness, bit too much confectionary going on here for me, too sweet lacking bite and identity. A6 A5 T6 P3 Ov12 3.2
