A refreshing thirst quenching pale golden session beer. Malty undertones and a powerful spicy hop aroma combine to produce a dangerously moreish beer.

AshtonMcCobb (1490) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - AUG 23, 2012
On tap @ Thomson’s Bar. Pours golden, slightly hazy with a decent head. The nose has hay and some meadow flowers. The taste has more of the floral thing but with a lemon zing on the end. The palate is medium bodied with a light to medium texture and a nice refreshing finish. Overall, very drinkabale indeed.

Cask at the Magpie, golden with very slight haze, grass and herbs on nose plus a light floral note, crisp dry flavour with underlying hints of biscuity malt. Spicy and relatively gentle bitter finish.

Spicy, hoppy but slightly pungent really - boring pale ale? Perfectly pleasant but not very exciting ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
