Coventry Climax
A.B.V. 4.5%

Lady Godiva, had for years begged her husband, The Earl of Mercia, to reduce his punitive taxes on the citizens of Coventry.

In exasperation he agreed to do so, if she would ride naked through the town. To his surprise she took on the challenge and rode out on the 10th July 1040. All the good people of Coventry agreed not to look.

Legend says that Peeping Tom, a tailor, did however look through a hole in his shutter, only to be instantly struck blind.

Hops used are Cascade and Jane.
