Southern Summit
An American-style pale ale at 4% that was named supreme cask champion at the national competition of Britain's independent brewers in 2016. A juicy citrus aroma leads to a pronounced grapefruit flavour, rounded off by a refreshing bitter finish. Summit, Citra and Idaho 7 hops add orange zest and a resinous, piney edge over a pale malt base. An alcohol-free version is made with the same three varieties.
