An array of European hops feature in this fantastic beer, crafted from maize, wheat and barley malts. It all adds up to one of our most popular session beers; really pale with a huge aromatic punch.

500ml bottle from Tesco. I would agree with the comment below about soapiness, which dominated this beer for me. Pale gold in colour with no head but a fair bit of carbonation. Aroma of oriental spice and lemony hops. Flavour was sweetish with plenty more spicy hops and a soap dish finish. Almost very good, but not quite.

500ml bottle from some supermarket somewhere, Tesco I think. BCA. Pale gold with lasting this white head. Lovely lemongrass hop aroma. Lovely citrus flavour. Bit soapy isn’t it? Still, it’s pretty good.

Golden lager color. Small creamy white head. Grassy and yeasty aroma. Smooth, medium-bodied. Finishing with hoppy bitterness. (6/2/6/4/12 3.0). Cask@Winchester Gate, Salisbury. Pale golden color, small white head. Aroma is kind of mix of yeast and hops. Hoppy, refreshing. (6/2/7/3/12 3.0)
