Brewed with Cornish spring water and Cornish Gold Malt, Tribute was first brewed in 1999 using Wilamett hops, which are perhaps responsible for its distinctive citrus and elderflower nose. Pouring a pale bronze colour with a moderate white head, the aromatics really do lift from the glass, with floral and summery hop notes, and an undertow of caramel. On the palate this is medium- to full-bodied, with a lovely juicy fruit quality, and masses of tangy hop, orange and grapefruit flavours. It is long and well balanced, staying fresh and crisp thanks to fine acidity and hoppy bite. A subtle, delicate, but lovely beer.
