Billy the Mid
A mid-strength pale ale built on New Zealand malts and American hops, aimed at drinkers who want flavour rather than a lower number. It pours pale gold with white foam. The aroma is a hop bouquet of orange, passionfruit and pine, and the palate leads with hop citrus over a caramel malt base before a dry, crisp finish. At 3.5 percent the body stays fuller than the strength suggests.
