AllgatesTwitter and Blisted3.9A straw coloured medium hoppy ale
Art Brewi Beer4A vanilla golden ale that balances out strong sweet vanilla flavours and punchy hops
Dark StarHophead3.8Wonderfully hoppy golden coloured bitter

Mrs Otto says Something a little more light hearted and quaffable. Citrus fruits dominate with some hop notes but not overpowering. If you want to start off easily and work your way up on the light side this is a must one to get you going.
