Lightfoot is named after a brewery in Masham which Theakston took over in 1919. The Lightfoot and Theakston families were very close and indeed linked through marriage and therefore it was a natural amalgamation of two well-established businesses. For many years it was rumoured that Theakston took over Lightfoot because they had a better cricket team something that was deemed unacceptable to the brewers in Red Lane! Lightfoot has always been a popular seasonal ale in fact so much so that in 2010 it became a permanent addition to our range and is now available all year round. It's light, fruity flavour makes it an ideal accompaniment to light curries, seafood dishes and summer salads or on a hot summer’s day perfect just on its own!

(Cask at St. Urho’s Pub, 20120120) The beer poured pale golden and clear. Its head was small and sparse. Aroma had malts, yeast and mildly diacetyl. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were hops, malts, hint of sourness and medium bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter. A cask gone bad?

Clear golden color, tiny white head. A bit diacetylic, buttery and fruity nose. Light bodied. Light fruits, pear, apple in the flavor. Weak palate, real lightfoot.

Cask-conditioned at the Bon Accord, Glasgow 1/07/09. Golden in colour with a billowy white head. Faint grassy hop and sweet malt aroma. Flavour of sweet malts with a hint of citrus and moderately bitter finish. Boring.

Hazy dark blond ale. Sharp zesty aroma. Flavour is bitter but the sharp edge makes it very refreshing. Sweeter notes of banana and lemon are present.
