500ml bottle shared with Finn at The Lamb in London (14.09.2006). Golden body. Light off-white foamy head. Fruity aroma. Flavour has a light touch of hops and malt. Moderate carbonated. Not much taste, but very refreshing on a warm afternoon.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear amber with a small, white head. Vague, citrusy freshness in the aroma. Medium body with a weak note of nuts and fruit. And then again this lightly citrusy aroma hopping that also leaves some bitterness. Quite refreshing. 160906

An orange beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet spicy; (citronmelisse?) and peaches. The flavor is sweet malty and rather spicy, I pick up cloves and citronmelisse?. The end is only slightly bitter. A refreshing and different beer.

Bottle picked up in Waitrose, Witney, July 10th 2006. Maybe I liked this one so much because I tried it imediately after two unimpressive lager style beers, anyway I really liked this. Golden in colour with a small white head great hoppy, citrusy aroma and a wonderful hoppy taste which had a great lingering bitter finish. I don’t know whether they have changed this significantly since it was added to this database but there is a label change and unless I am going mad I thought it said Styrian Hops.

Bottle. Golden/amber. Hoppy citric lemon nose. Really refreshing after a bike ride. White lasting head, tangy hops on end. Light refreshing not a lot of malt or depth but pretty nice overall

Bottled. Deep golden, firm head. Orangey hop aroma. Sweet and fairly light bodied but with dense malt character. Medium bitterness. A pleasant ale dominated by orangey hops, and far better than you’d expect from a beer where the label says "sunshine in a bottle".

Orangey-gold, very carbonated to thick, puffy, off-white head, not stable. Light caramel, honey, grassy hops, jute, cat’s pee. One good thing first: it’s sourish, hoppy-ish, and NOT sweet. In fact, hopflavour dominates the whole taste & palate, again grassy and jute-ish hops. But nothing else. Very light, even watery texture; bit of hopoil in the aftertaste. Worth existing - but nothing more. Mind you, if this were cool cask, and outside 30°C summer, I might talk differently. WHY the clear glass bottle, for cats Peete’s sake?
