[33cl can from Beer52.] A pale straw coloured pour with a slight haze and a close white head; lemony aroma; thin in the mouth with a lemony taste; and a matching finish with some floral notes. Rather one dimensional.

330ml can via Beer52 (brewed by Fierce Beer up in Aberdeen). Poured into a La Chouffe glass at home on 6th October 2025. Hazed dull golden body, white affair on top. Citrus nose and initial taste, lemon and orange like aroma and flavours, grapefruit and floral notes also turn up before the finish.

Slightly hazy/yellow pour with a small white head. Mango, grapefruit, grains and a hint of herbs for a decent bitter finish.

330ml can from Beer52. Semi hazed gold with small white top. Aroma has floral and citric hops notes with some wheat and confectionary. Taste has a grainy dextrin malt flavour with some modest lemon and orange hop flavours coming through. Medium bodied, semi-drying. Some late modest juicy hop burst. Below average for the style and strength but not a bad beer.
