Coachman is a quintessentially refreshing British Golden Ale that expertly bridges the gap between a clean lager and a flavorful ale. Pouring a brilliant straw-gold, it opens with a delicate bouquet of floral and herbal English hops, underpinned by a low bready malt backbone reminiscent of fresh crackers. The palate is defined by a light, clean profile where the initial malt sweetness quickly transitions into a moreish, crisp bitterness that invites another sip. Designed for ultimate drinkability at 3.8% ABV, its low ester profile and thirst-quenching character make it an ideal sessionable pint with a dry, lingering herbal finish.
