Tasting Notes: This pale amber ale has a pleasing zesty aroma and this comes through in its flavour magnificently. This ale is fresh and loaded with grapefruit and orange. Bread and biscuits find the palate, this ale is sweet and has a subtle bitter twist at the end. A clever combination of Maris Otter and Cornish Gold malt married with Fuggles, Styrian and Willamette hops.
