Description
Hambleton Brewery was born in 1991, when Nick Stafford decided to start a brewery at the bottom of his in-laws’ garden.in a converted outbuilding at the brewer's in-laws house in Holme-on-Swale. Success of the beers lead to a need to expand which resulted in a moved to a location at the opposite end of the village, The Brewery, Holme-on-Swale, in 1994. Brewing capacity was doubled in 2000. The brewery relocated to its current address in 2007.

500ml bottle; BB Apr 2019. Poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 5th July 2018. Poured a clear and bright light golden colour, white head that hung around. Nose held a subtle citrus leaning, as did the taste, refreshing enough, but lacks depth of flavour and body; even if it's only a pale session ale.

4.2% 4.1% Cask gravity at Two Halves Margate. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Nicely hoppy refreshing blond beer. Some tea character. I rather liked it. Cold light citrus orange refreshing. Decent enough.
