Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - May & June (Originally a Special in 2006).
The beer is a pale fruity ale, with a citrus lime aroma, and hopped only with Fuggles. After a successful launch in 2006, Lion is back for a seasonal slot. It is the first single hop varietal beer to be brewed by Hook Norton Brewery.

Golden coloured, low malt profile with an enjoyable slightly pungent (if that makes sense) fuggles bitterness. Medium sweetness. very enjoyable.

Cask @ Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. Unclear yellow orange color with a small fizzy fair lacing mostly diminishing off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, fruity, moderate hoppy flowers, citrus / lemon. Flavor is moderate sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a average to long duration, leading to a light bitter finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Cask Charlie’s pub, CPH: Clear gold with no head. Fruity hoppy floral and a sour edge that dominates the flavor. Watery body. Dry end!

Cask conditioned at The Lord Rosebery, Scarborough. Served at correct cellar temperature. ABV was 4.2%. Golden colour, very cloudy. Low creamy head. Hoppy and fruity aroma. Distinctly hoppy and grapefruity flavour throughout, very nice.

Cask, Moon Under Water, Watford. Golden, slightly hazy appearance, with a some white head. Rather hoppy smell, slightly estery taste and quite bitter aftertaste. Quite nice.
