Fruity, premium strength golden ale showcasing hops from around the world. Willamette and Cascade in the American corner with fruity, floral flavours, plus Galaxy from the Southern Hemisphere for a tropical boost, all beautifully balanced by Bobek and Spalt hops grown by our neighbours over on the continent. Dangerously easy drinking...

Clear golden beer with a white head and fruity aroma. Taste is tangy citrus, quite lemony, some bitter hop. I think too much would start to get sickly but it’s nice.

Tried at the Threekingham beer festival 2015. Golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma is fruity with spice taste was a touch too sweet for me.

Hand-pulled cask pint in the newly refurbished Oddfellows, Wellington, Shropshire on 10th sep 2014. Light golden body, clear and bright (almost lager like) with a good white head. Fruity and tasty, semi-sweet with a light malty front, the hops being well suppressed from the start,

Cask, West Kirby Tap, Wirral. Hazy darkish gold looks with a small white head. Sweet malt nose with vague citrus hop notes. Creamy mouthfeel. Flavour was sweet and a bit cloying with a rather weak hop profile and some fruitiness. Drinkable but somewhat on the bland and insipid side of the fence.

Cask @ Shoulder of Mutton, Hebden Bridge. Slightly hazed yellow coloured ale with a small creamy head. It’s full of tropical fruit character, more so in taste than aroma with a mild bitterness.
