Anglers Reward

Tap to rate

Fresh herbs and lemon with a hint of pine: a refreshing, lightly hopped session pale ale at 4.0%, easy drinking and uncomplicated, and vegan friendly. It is brewed on the family farm in the Yorkshire Wolds, where all the brewing water comes untreated from the farm's own borehole down in the natural chalk aquifer.

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity, revealing the beer's light character at a glance. The head forms readily and maintains a fine, delicate foam collar with visible lacing down the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, suggesting a balanced effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with herbaceous and citrus notes—lemon zest and fresh garden herbs predominate, supported by a subtle pine undertone from noble hop varieties. Malted grain provides a soft, grainy foundation without dominating the aromatic profile. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no rough edges or fermentation artifacts.

◐ Taste

The palate arrives light and crisp, with herbal and citrus flavors tracking directly from the aroma into the mid-palate. A moderate, measured bitterness builds gradually and settles into the finish without harshness; the 35 IBUs feel proportionate rather than aggressive. The malt backbone is clean and understated, allowing hop character to remain the focal point throughout the drinking experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium in length, drying cleanly on the palate with a lingering whisper of lemon and herb. No astringency or warming alcohol heat—the 4% ABV ensures a smooth, easy departure.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
