500ml bottle from Co-op. Eye - clear gold, small white head, ringed retention. Aroma - soft fruity and citrus hop with biscuit malts. Taste - crisp and clean. Light biscuit malts is followed by melon, lemon and floral peach. Palate - light to moderate body Overall - its not too bad, I was expecting another English gold beer but there is some decent hop level here.

Bottle in Lund. Not that hoppy despite the name, more like an English IPA.
