A light and refreshing pale golden beer with hints of banana and pineapple. Crafted with a fine blend of the best English malted barley and mainly fresh local Fuggles hops from Puttenham but with some aroma hops at the end of the boil. A good balanced beer with a long dry finish and a sense of sweetness.
