Delightfully refreshing and wonderfully zesty, yet easy drinking and lightly carbonated.

Light gold, 4.5%, first brewed in 2024. Part of Salopian's Silver range.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus notes—lemon zest and orange peel lead the charge, complemented by the herbaceous character of Citra hops. Beneath this sits a gentle Malz foundation with a whisper of herbal spice from the Edelhopfen additions. Clean and inviting, with no yeast-driven cloudiness affecting the bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, the organic lemon providing a natural tartness that balances the restrained bitterness (15 IBU). Mid-palate is smooth and refreshing, with a light Malz character supporting the citrus without becoming heavy or cloying. The finish dries cleanly, allowing the hop character to linger without astringency.

◑ Finish

Short to medium in length, the aftertaste is crisp and pleasantly dry. Lemon notes fade gradually, leaving a light, hoppy echo that invites the next sip.
