Off Axis Brew Co is a range of budget beers brewed exclusively for Home Bargains. I do like a bargain beer, so I thought I'd try their pale ale, Hop the Light Fantastic, brewed with Talus, Eldorado and Citra hops and it's actually pretty good.
It's a deep golden, hazy ale with a thick, frothy cream coloured head. It has a very fruity aroma with notes of strong, juicy citrus that smells more sweet than bitter. As you would expect from its name, it also has a lovely whiff of fragrant hops.
The taste is quite light, which is surprising after experiencing the intense aroma. The flavour is like a watered down version of the smell: citrus and hops. It's not pithy at all and the citrus balance leans towards sweet. It's quite fizzy with firm bubbles and a decent medium body.
It's a very refreshing beer and I love the hint of sweetness. I think it's a decent budget beer and Ale Be Seeing You again.
