White Star

Tap to rate

Crisp and hoppy gold beer with fruit tastes on the palate and in the scent, and a powerful fruity aroma, helped by Summit hops that go in late in fermentation. White Star is Titanic's strong golden ale at 4.5% ABV, on cask and in bottle, and took Bronze in the Pale Ale category at the 2024 SIBA Midlands cask awards.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with the hoppy character establishing itself immediately—orange zest and a gentle herbal lift. The mid-palate remains dry and refreshing, with subtle fruit notes (stone fruit, light citrus) balanced by restrained bitterness and a light Malz backbone that avoids any cloyness.
