Beer #282 - Buxton Jacob’s Ladder

This is a hoppy session beer from the excellent Buxton Brewery of Derbyshire. The brewery, which is one of the main players of the ‘craft’ scene in the UK, is donating some of the proceeds from this beer to the local Mountain Rescue Team which is a nice gesture. I really like beers like these, that pack a decent flavoursome punch whilst being low in alcohol content (Jacob’s Ladder checks in at 2.8% ABV). This one pours a hazy, almost cloudy golden-yellow colour. The aroma gives a hint of what is to come – it’s full of fresh hops with grassy and citrus notes. The flavour is more of the same, very fresh and punchy with a bitter citrus tang. It’s very refreshing yet full-bodied and full of flavour.
