A beer lacking in alcohol can’t be really flavourful as well can it? Common sense says it won’t have a big aroma full of passion fruit and mango; it wouldn’t have a well rounded mouth feel and crisp bitterness and there’s no way it’d have satisfying IPA style depth of flavour…. is there? Think again, this is a beer totally devoid of common sense, the jester in the pack, a complete Simpleton.

Unclear, orange-yellow colored, medium frothy white head. Aroma is malt, some caramel and bit biscuit, medium citrus and fruity hops, some grassy notes. Taste is medium sweet malt, bit caramel, medium citrus, fruity and floral hops, medium bitterness, dryish finish. Light bodied, soft carbonation, bit watery. OK for a low ABV beer. (on tap, Garden Brewery, Zagreb)

Tap ar The Garden Brewery. Hazy amber-golden with a small white head. Citric candyish notes, bit vaguely herbal in the aroma. Lightly sweetish and perfumy. Nice. Taste... Mild, light, peachy and herbal hoppiness, medium to low body, good for the ABV, light hoppy aftertaste. Okay on its own, excellent for the ABV.

Keg at the Ostrich Inn, Peterborough. Mid-gold, very cloudy. A little bit of white head that dissipates quickly. Lots of papaya in the aroma, with some citrus peel and a touch of sugar candy. Taste is surprisingly sweet and sherbety with a hoppy bitterness coming in for the long finish. Body is really thin - only here is there a betrayal of the ABV - and there’s a harsh astringency in the aftertaste. Otherwise this is a brilliant sessionable beer, with more flavour than many medium-big beers. I love this brewery.

On tap @ Borefts 2014. Smells really nice. A light blurry golden colored one this with a small white lacing head. Fruit nose with lots of nice hoppy tones. Green grass and hay. Quite nice stuff. Above average on the carbonation and thin near watery in the mouth. Slightly dryish mineralish flavors. Watery malts, some biscuits. Fruity, absolutely. Green grass and hay. Really lightdrinkable and not bad at all for the abv. Green grassy long tail. 27.09.2014
