COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Occasional.
Originally named in honour of the final episode of Top of the Pops shown on 30th July, this beer is full gold in colour, brewed with Pale, Wheat, Munich and Caramalt Malts, and Cascade Hops. It has a hoppy aroma with a hint of fresh fruit and a taste of grapefruit derived from the hops, which is underpinned by malt flavours and a lingering, mouthfilling, fruity aftertaste. As Smashy and Nicey would say ... "FABULICIOUS"!! ... not arf!
