Pale malt is used to keep the bright, blonde colour and some carapils malt is added for just a little extra body. Amarillo hops in the boiling copper give refreshing bitterness and late hopping with Amarillo and Citra hops add zesty citrus and a delicate hint of floral, spicy and tropical fruits. A refreshing, easy drinking ale.

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour, foam white head and aroma of grain, straw. Flavour is caramel, fruity, with lemon citrus notes and some straw. Oily mouthfeel, light to medium body & carbonation, slightly metallic bitter finish. OK.

Bottle going cheap in Tesco Skegness, post the world cup. Pale gold colour beer, with a small white head. Aroma has some fruity hoppiness to it, with floral notes. Medium sweetness, light-medium body, texture is rather thin, average carbonation, floral bitterness to finish. OK beer, nothing exciting about it, but not bad for a GK beer.

The citra comes through well in the aroma and flavour. Certainly flavoursome but just lacking a bit in body, too watery.

Bottled 500ml. -at Scout Club Samobor. Pale golden coloured, medium sized creamy white head, citrusy and weak hoppy nose. Soapy citrusy dishwasher gel with watery finish. Some hint of fruits and hops but still not enough to be a good beer.

50cl bottle. Bbe May 2015. Clear golden, thin white head. Citrusy nose, some biscuity notes, very light aroma. Flavor is the same, citrus with some biscuits, malt and floral notes. Light, refreshing. Clear bottle but no skunkyness fortunately.

Bottle. Fresh smooth malty nose, hints of citrus. The beer starts malty and fresh, not too high drinkable, a bit dusty with fresh fruity citrus hints. The mainpart is a bit grainy, slightly sweetish. The aftertaste is medium, fresh citrus flavours together with a sweetish grainy malt body.

50cl bottle from Tesco, Camberley. Plae amber with a thin white head and heavy carbonation; aroma of "Fruit Salad" sweets; sweet tropical fruit taste with a fairly full body and some grapefruit towards the end; and a biscuity finish. Another decent attempt from GK.

500ml bottle from Tesco - Thin looking yellow body, no head. Nose is a promising fruit punch - peaches, grapefruit, nectarines. Taste is a mix of the above, but is just unappealing after the first sip. Very low carbonation, thin mouthfeel. The only thing really Brazilian about this was the lack of pubic hair.
