Supplier: Beer52
The Firebrand brewery is a relatively new company that started just over a year ago in Cornwall. This is one of their original beer and is one of their four core beers; using British Maris Otter malt, and hops from America (Centennial & Citra) and New Zealand (Motueka). I served this chilled.

Appearance: Golden with a hint of amber. There is no head on it though.
Aroma: Lots of hop resin with hints of lemon rind and peach. Not really any malt flavours coming through except for some sweetness.
Flavour: Not really any hops coming through in the taste just mainly some pale malt flavours with a hint of hoppy bitterness and a hint of hoppy lemon rind.
Body: Very refreshing with a bit of thickness on the back, before becoming quite dry in the aftertaste.
Aftertaste: A moderate amount of bitterness from the hops, not much else.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, it's nice, refreshing, but not many flavours in it.
Price Range: Part of the box of 10 I got for £14 (usually £29), so it works out at £1.40 for a 330ml bottle; not a bad price but not great.
Food Pairings: It would go well with something simple like chips, maybe some chilli fries like Piri Piri fries.
