Said mountain must be where they grow the fruity hops, rather than the bitter ones. Decent enough blonde which pours a lovely clear pale gold with a frothy white head, and a hint of citrus fruit on the nose. The flavour is mildly fruity on top of a sweet biscuit malt backbone, and there's a touch of bitterness in this finish

[50cl bottle from Roys of Wroxham.] A pale golden amber pur with a thin white head; malty aroma and taste; with a nettley bitterness, and a touch of citrus to finish. Quite drinkable.

23/7/2020. Served straight from cask cellar cooled at The Duke Of York, Ipswich. Doesn't get much better than this serving wise. Poured pale gold with a small frothy white head. Aroma was fresh, hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, straw. Moderate sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Have had this beer before and didn't think much of it but freshly tapped, very good.
