Slightly cloudy pale amber with a frothy white head, and a hint of mandarin orange on the nose. Overly fizzy, lots of sweet malt and citrus fruit going on, but not balanced particularly well, and then a rather harsh hop bitterness to finish things off

440ml can. Pours gold, small white head, minimal retention; not great Aroma of grapefruit, pale malts, tangerine, a little spice; fine if a little dulled. Taste is very bland. Some watered down grapefruit note with vegetable starch and a hint of spice and citrus with a mild bitterness in the finish. Hop forwarded only to Carling drinkers I think. Body is light but not watery, carbonation is moderate to high. Average. Another mediocre Aldi beer. It might be cheap but for 20 to 30 pence more you can get better at Lidl.

440ml can from a local Aldi store: BB 30th Apr 2021. Drank at home on 29th Jul 2020. Golden amber body, clean and clear; the head a thin white blanket. Malty molasses in the nose and taste along with some fruity hop notes and I thought this OK compared to most reviews I've seen. Had it while turning meat on a BBQ.

Can from Aldi Supermarket, Milnrow. Deeper clear golden with a small head. Bland hoppy brew with some malts in both aroma and taste. There's nothing too bitter about this one.

440ml can from Aldi. Poured a crystal clear medium amber colour with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is toffee, gluey malt, floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a light, slightly watery, woody, floral hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Nice can but pretty grim.

440ml can from Brewery Tap - Clear amber body, shortlasting white topper. Nose is a vague citrussy hop, not sure which it is supposed to be. Taste is watery up front, then orange, then a lasting bitterness. Not sure I like this, but it isn't a drainpour. Okay, I'll drink the rest.
