Munich and Caramalt give this beer a sweet malty base and a deep golden colour. German hops give a pleasant bitterness and Cascade and Chinnock provide the powerful citrus aromas.

Slightly hazy amber color, tiny white head. Herbal-citrus aroma. Light-bodied. Flavor has some citrus, honeyish notes. Easy, ok.

On cask Arkwright Arms, Duckmanton - Hazy yellow body, thin white head. Sweet lemon nose, hint of pepper in there too. A little sweet in the taste but rather refreshing. Quite a good one on a warm day.

Cask at the Evening Star, Brighton on 27th August 2011. Amber to gold with thin film head and skeletal lacing. Yeasty aroma. Hoppy liquid with grassy notes and the sharpest of grapefruit tangs. This strong citric note carries to finish where it lingers as the main feature. Slightly smoky wash over these flavours.

Cask, gravity at The White Horse, Hedgerley, Bucks, 31-07-10 in company of Loz, dad & Pauline Pours orange/gold with lovely clarity, for some reason I thought that this was stronger than 3.8% and just called Raw-Solstice but the details I took down on the beer were sketchy and internet search has shown these details, surely they can’t have brewed two called Solstice? There is a light citric nose to this, its like that half grapefruit that you have for breakfast occasionally with a little brown sugar on top. Taste is tongue lashingly fruity, some grapefruit bitterness coming through afterward’s, its lovely and on of the day’s favourite’s. A6 A5 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6
