All day pale. The Sauvignon Bkanc of beer. The New Zealand hops are grown in the same region as the famous kiwi Sauvignon Blanc. Powerfully dry-hopped for a floral finish. Crisp and dry with a fresh-cut grass aroma.

500ml bottle from Marks & Spencer. Clear golden pour, fizzy white head, rings of lacing. Sweet, grainy aroma, biscuity. Taste is bready, crackers, light crisp bite at the finish that fades slowly.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear golden colour with a large thick creamy white head. Nice looking beer. Aromas of citrus fruits, floral hops and a touch of honey. Taste has more of the citrus, floral and honey with an added peppery note and some biscuit on the finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and very smooth mouthfeel. Nice beer.

Tight fluffy white head left a froth an amber coloured still body. Fruity, pine & hoppy aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the tongue with softer back & clean aft. Bitter/Sweet citrus, hoppy, pine & light malt tastes with a long tangy pithy finish. Good one.

Bottle, 0.33l. Clear golden pour, one finger frothy head. Short lasting, slightly off-white head. Nose pretty much generic, medium malty, grassy, mild cardboard. Thin body, not completely watery. Has some thickness to it. Medium carbonation. Mild bittersweet taste. Aroma also quite mild, dominated by grassy and herbal notes. Honey, tea leaves. Slight citrus. Pretty much similar to Mary Jane but without such strong cardboard presence. Overall, mediocre. Drinkable but ultimately forgettable brew.

A clear golden colour with a small thin bubbly head that settled to a film. Grassy hops and a light malt aroma, similar taste with a pleasant grassy bitterness in the finish.
