From a 330ml bottle on 15/5/2010. Pours a slightly opaque golden orange colour with a lasting head. The aroma is floral and fruity (citrus and grapefruit) with some grassiness. Flavour wise, you get sweet fruitiness, with some honey and caramel malt. Finishes with an assertive grapefruit bitterness. Comes across as a bit of an APA/IPA hybrid. Quite an unusual brew but a pretty good one.

Bottle. Hazy yellow, very large white head. Vigorous bubbles. Looks like a wheat beer. Dry aroma with zesty grapefruit. Taste is initially dominated by citrus. Some hay-like malts, but feels a bit thin. Once the citrus kick wears down a little the second half of the bottle started to taste more balanced and interesting.

Vibrant golden pour, towering (too big) persistent head, lively carbonation.Light hoppy aroma of grapefruit, pineapple, green apples, limes and artificial lemon. Biscuity malt underneath but not enough. Could use some more crystal in there.Lemon and lime definitely transfers through to taste, followed by some sweet malt before a lingering but non-descript bitterness takes over.Too much carbonation.

Bottle. Pours hazy pale amber with big fluffy white head that lasts well. The aroma is very nice - floral hoppy with touch of citrus. Palate is very fizzy with a medium body. Flavour starts with a refreshing floral / citrus taste moving into some malty sweetness but leading to a brutal bitter finish which is deceptive, intially it seems very pleasing but then it turns harsh and that aspects stays. Doesn’t quite work for me.

Bottled. Cloudy blonde, small head. Obvious grapefruit/lemon hop aroma. Dry, crisp and well hopped. Light bodied. There’s notes of toffee underneath the hops, and the finish is very bitter - near resiny. The malt profile may be a bit mellow, but overall this is a greap APA.
