Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with gentle bubbles and a decent fluffy head. Nose - astringent malt and a bit oxidised. Taste - astringent malt some toffee. Palate - light to medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a finish that could be fresher. Overall -

500ml bottle from Tesco. Poured a slightly hazy light amber with a broken white head and some broken lace. The aroma is malty hop. The flavour is medium to weak bitter with a watery light hop palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Fine with a curry!

This is the beer that got removed from the UK House of Commons bar because of its name and bunny girl pump clip: the PC womens lib lot complained and it was taken off (cask). I have drank it at the old brewery tap before they moved to larger premises a few years ago, well before RateBeer was on the scene: this review however is from a 500ml bottle. Best before the end of March 2012, it was poured into my Abbot Ale glass tankard on 6th March 2012. This is a true blonde, lager light in its golden looks, on top a smooth foaming white head. The aroma is citrusy with floral hop overtones. The taste has a tangy, citrus hop front that leads towards a dry, bitter finish: strangely the rear label claims the beer is bitter then citrusy, maybe my taste buds are the exact opposite of their head brewer/taster? Definately very little malt content to be found, wheat is also used in the brew, hence the light colour, plus of course those Halcyon Pale Malts: no sign of them in the taste even if they do decide the colour. Refreshing and hoppy, this is a summer beer in my eyes, an outside in the sun sort of brew.
