Northern Light
A low-alcohol pale ale at 0.5%, launched in January 2021 as the brewery's first beer of this kind and hopped with Citra alone. It is light, crisp and refreshing: subtle citrus and zest on the nose, a gentle bitterness on the palate and a clean, balanced finish without much weight. The brewery has since relaunched it with a new look and stresses that the recipe is unchanged. Sold in bottle.
