Halt pint, cask by handpump at Malt and Hops. Loose bubbly, beige head. Cloudy amber coloured body. Fresh citrus aroma, grapefruit up front. Joint taste profile of grapefruit, peach and pineapple followed by a smooth bitterness of citrus peels. Refreshing and tasty (Leith 11.08.2013).

Bottle from Waitrose. Copper coloured, thin white head. Aroma of ripe raspberries. Then it goes a bit downhill. Taste is bitter, burnt caramel. Overly sweet. Not my thing really.

50cl bottle from Waitrose. Copper with a loose white head; aroma of gooseberry and peach; soft in the mouth with a fuzzy, peachy taste and a sharp grapefruit bitterness. A trifle on the soft and flabby side for me.

Hand-pulled pint in Ye Old Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 29 Jun 2013. Light amber to deep gold in body colour with a clinging head of white foam, the beer was in excellent condition. Citrus feel to the nose and taste: Oakham seem to major on citrusy and tart fruit flavoured beers and this sits nicely in that group. I am not a huge fan of this style, but you have to admire the effort some breweries go to in their quest for different tastes. Great beer if you are into grapefruit and gooseberry flavoured beers. I don’t like fruit tea’s and I don’t really like fruit flavoured beers, my scores are as objective as I can be.

Bottle from Waitrose. Hazy golden body with a thin off-white head. Very light carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of soap, freshly cut orange and straw. Flavour of satsuma, tinned lychee and grapefruit bitterness. Punchy flavour but very easy drinking. Thin body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A juicy fruit salad bomb - fantastic.

500ml Bottle - Amber with a small head. Grapefruit, pine, peach and passion fruit in the aroma. Hoppy, tangy and fruity taste with notes of grapefruit, toffee, passion fruit and apricot. Really nice.
