Trivia: Sanda gets its name from the Sanda lighthouse, located off the southern tip of the Mull of Kintyre in southwestern Scotland.

Clear medium golden colour, average frothy white head, half-way lasting, good lacing. Citrus nose, aroma grapefruit, pine, strong citrus surpresses almost all other aroma’s. Taste light heavy bitter, light sweet notes. Medium body, oily to creamy texture, average carbonation, aftertaste sharp dry bitter, astringent, spicy notes. Quite harsh on the palate, indeed aggressive, but okay.

Bottle. Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Hazy gold. Film of clingy, white head. Toffee malts. Some dried pineapple. Pineapple cube sweets. A bit buttery. Taste is sweet, turning long, light, citrus bitter. Decent body. Soft carbonation. Bit of chew. Finishes lengthy bitter. Ok, but not keen on the buttery thing.

Light clear golden beer with a very light fruit aroma. Flavour is light hop with a bit of lemon. Tasty. Served very cold so I’d be interested to try it a bit warmer.
