Punching above its weight in flavour, this is a clean, crisp beer with subtle fruitiness from Nelson Sauvin hops.

500ml bottle from Morrisons, online. Clear gold with small white head, nice retention. Aroma of biscuit malts and a pleasant floral aroma. Taste is biscuity and bitter. The floral notes from the Nelson Sauvin hops come through but little of the grape notes. Light bodied. Ok.

Bottle from Morrison's Scarborough. Pours clear gold with white foam. Aroma: pale malts, citrus, lime, floral hop. Taste: light to moderate sweet & bitter, crisp, towards dry on the palate, mild nelson hop vibes. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. A decent flavoursome drop considering the ABV.

Cask at the Golden Lion, Todmorden. Pale yellow with a thick white head Think it would have been in great condition if it hadn't have had the stuffing knocked out of it by the stupid sparkler. Good full body for the low abv. Floral up front with some lemon and melon. The flavours are killed off somewhat by the heavy-handed bitterness. Could have been better.
