440 ml can online from Raynville. Near clear pale god with white foam. Wheaty, citrus, herbal, with assertive hop bitterness. Nearer IPL territory imo

Can at home pickied up from HOTM. A very clear, golden yellow coloured pour with a fine rocky white head. Aroma is leafy hop, leafy orange, cereal grains, light waxy notes, subdued. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, nutty cereal grains, piney hop, orange rind, leafy hop, light metalic notes. Palate is semi crisp, light hop oils, moderate fine carbonation. Nice hoppy lager beer.

440ml can. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of grassy and citrus hops, malts. Taste is very hoppy for a lager, citrusy, grapefruit, orange/lemon, grassy/herbal, on a bready malt base, assertive hop bitterness. Medium bodied. Almost like a west coast Pils, hops seemed more US than German.
