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.

Beerfest at Furnace Inn, cask, half-pint shared with Finn. Naked surface, poor lacing. Close to clear dark golden body. Malt-fruity aromas, citrus peel and brown malts. Taste of apricot, orange and mango on a mild backbone of caramel sweetness. Thin bodied, not diluted though. Session drink, indeed. (Derby 21.02.2016).

Draught@CBC2015. Amber colour with a small fluffy white head. Aroma is fruity and floral hops, mild herbs, spices, sweet malts as well as some toffee. Flavour is quite similar, but has a quite big bitter touch to it. Still refreshing and easy to drink. A bit thin as for the palate. Still a nice brew considering the low abv.

Tap. Pours golden with whiteish head. The small head stays for a second. Aroma is hoppy, fruits, mango, slight cat piss. Flavor is sweet and bitter, tropical fruits, mango, citrus, some popcorn. Body is very watery. Overall: don’t like the style (hoppy watery), so don’t really enjoy this one.

Tap@CBC 2015, Red Session - fuzzy golden coloured pour with white head. Citrus fruity hoppy and malty aroma and taste, peachy with some satsuma, lemon, straw, some grassy and floral nuances, refreshing, hoppy bitter finish. Lovely.

Tap at CBC 2015. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is light grassy hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a light floral hoppy, pine needle palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. A quality easy drinking beer.
