Independent brewery Bath Ales has reintroduced its popular seasonal light ale Golden Hare on draught as spring approaches.
The brewery – based at Warmley near Bristol – describes the beer as having ‘fresh and zesty flavours’ to coincide with the lighter evenings. It said sales of Golden Hare were very strong last year.
It is one of a number of seasonal brews produced by Bath Ales to reflect the flavours of the season. 
Brewed using floor-malted Maris Otter barley and Goldings hops, Golden Hare is sunshine gold in colour, with a taste, according to the brewery, that is reminiscent of a spring day.
Bath Ales sales director Mark Harding said: “Last year we saw very strong sales of Golden Hare so we’re hoping for a repeat performance this year. Our core focus is, and will always remain, on producing high-quality, flavoursome ale.
“Many of our customers look forward to seeing Golden Hare back in our venues as it signals the end of the long winter season. As it’s so popular, we keep Golden Hare available in bottle format all year but there’s something special about seeing it back at the pumps.
“It’s one of our most well-received seasonal ales, and considered a favourite with those who enjoy a lighter, more refreshing ale.
“After just a week back in the pubs, Golden Hare has already made a good impression on visitors so I don’t expect it will hang around for long.”
Golden Hare (4.4% Vol) is available in all 11 Bath Ales’ outlets including including The Wellington in Horfield, the Graze restaurant in Queen Square and craft beer bar Beerd in Kingsdown.
The Bath Ales range of beers includes its flagship Gem bitter, Barnsey, Dark Side, Wild Hare, Special Pale Ale and Ginger Hare.
