Brewed to be as pale as a Scottish tan, this is our flagship beer. A light biscuit malt base, bursting with citrus hop flavour and a subtle bitter finish.

Can at home picked up from Morrisons. A nice light hazed golden yellow coloured pour with a big frothy sticky white head. Aroma is nice floral citrus, pollen , white grape, kiwi, dusting of sugar. Nice nose. Flavur is composed of raw bready grains, little straw, mellow tropical fruits, spicy citrus, opal fruits, white grape. Good. Reminds me of a kernel pale ale. Palate is nice light grainy, big frothy airy carbonation, semi crisp finish.

Can from Morrisons Inverurie. It pours hazy bright yellow - gold with a medium, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, sweet, tangy and fruity, fruit pastilles, powdered sugar, candied citrus peel, lime and grapefruit. The taste crisp, dry, some light bitterness, zingy citrus edge, grapefruit, lemon - lime, blood orange, stone fruit, berries, fruit pastilles, pine edge and a touch of biscuit in the backdrop with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation.rather fruity and bright. Novel and chuggable.

[44cl can from Morrisonโs, Bracknell.] A straw coloured pour with a thick cream cap; orangey citrus aroma; fresh citrus taste, and a gentle fruity bitterness to finish. Quite pleasant.

440ml can; BB 16th Aug 2020. Drank at home on 16th Oct 2019. This unfiltered and unpasteurised brew poured a pale golden colour with a slight haze, decent white crown on top. Nice and refreshing feel to the taste, citrus leanings giving it a mini-tartness and bitterness from the hop content, light piney twist aroma and flavour wise; pleasant.

Can from the brewery online shop. Pours clear pale gold with a thin white head. Aromas of citrus, mango and passionfruit, faint male. Taste is more tropical fruit, faint biscuit. Good body and well balanced finish.
