500 ml bottle. Pours a clear yellow with a thin white head. Citrus aroma with malt and hay. Sweet lemon citrus flavour with hay, light malt and a dry, bitter, hoppy finish. Light body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Can’t tell it’s only 3.5%.

0.5l bottle. This is a kinda pale golden looking one, as good as clear in the glass and it has a nice big lasting bright white lacing head. The nose has lots of nice sweet floral tones. A little bit of sweet malts and fruity hints. Smells really nice. Mild and nice. Lightdrinkable. High quenching potential in this one. Feels perhaps a tad thin and light oily in he mouth with a carbonation level that's about average. Malty flavors, not to sweet or anything but it doesn't really have a massive bitterness. Fruity and melon. Really nice actually. Superb with food or out in the sun. Don't mind having again. 12.04.2014

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a blond medium-sized foamy head. Fresh and fruity, slightly zesty hoppy aroma with notes of citrus, grapefruit and a tinge of pineapple. Mildly bitter flavour, light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly doughy pale malt character with notes of citric and slightly herbal hops; dry and mildly bitter finish with fruity and delicately herbal hops. Refreshing Ale. 11.VIII.14

Very pale yellow beer with very little head. Scent is of tangy lemon but it’s very faint. The beer is a little bit bubbly and that certainly hits the tongue. After that it’s hops and bitter fruit but it’s a bit tart and a touch on the watery side too. Not my cup of tea.

Pale, straw blond colour. Citrusy hop aroma. Texture thin. Quite gassy. Light, fresh flavour with citrus hop and light bitterness. Good session beer for a warm day.
