United Kingdom·Golden Ale
Tap to rate

Floral and herby notes meet a gentle bready malt aroma in this fresh, uplifting pale golden ale at 4.0%. Smooth, crisp and clean, it finishes dry. The name nods to the last push towards the finish line, and the beer comes from a family farm in the Yorkshire Wolds, brewed with water from the farm's own borehole. Gluten-free according to the brewery.
