Can from the brewery online shop. Pours light hazy golden with a thin white head. Aromas of mandarin orange and faint white grape. Fruity taste, more orange and grape. Good showcase of the hop, not much lager character though.

Can. Light haze on this orangey gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Mellow lager malts, nicely pitched sweetness, ie not too sweet for a lager. Now the brewers called this Meridian, so you might think this would be the hop used, but no, it's Hallertau Blanc. Very tangerine here, piney minerally tangerine with just a light white wine vibe. Works fab here, bright and refreshing. First rate lager I could happily drink all night and at 4.3%, possibly stay upright!
