A pale ale at session strength. The aroma brings grapefruit and orange together with a resinous pine note. On the palate a light, bready malt base carries citrus peel, and the finish is bittersweet. The brewery calls it zesty and pitches it as a beer for longer sessions; with 4.2% it is the lightest of the hop-led beers in the year-round range.

The nose opens with distinct citrus notes—grapefruit and orange zest predominate—layered with a resinous pine backbone that adds herbal complexity. These hop-driven aromas are clean and vibrant, without any earthy or vegetal harshness, speaking to careful hop selection and handling.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with a light bready Malz character that provides a gentle foundation for the citrus peel flavours to develop. Mid-palate brings the promised citrus forward without astringency, while a moderate bitterness builds steadily and finishes bittersweet, balancing residual sweetness against dry hop grip.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
