Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweet, a little soft cream. Good light lemon-orange citrus. Some tangerine on the light finish. Lost it’s lager character under the hops but pretty refreshing.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Offie and Toffee. Pours clear gold, lightly effervescent, with a foamy, white head. The aroma holds notes of biscuits, tangerine, melon, some grapefruit. Light-medium sweet flavour with further biscuity pale malts, tangerine, a little melon, orange, light rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Great balance to the finish, more biscuit, ample juicy tangerine, grapefruit, melon. Wonderful beer. Could drink a lot of this.

330ml bottle from Ales by Mail. Clear (with floaties) pale golden colour with a creamy white two-finger head, great retention and lacing. Aroma: juicy fruity hops, citrus, grapefruit, pine. Taste: juicy, fruity, grapefruit, orange, lemon, with a bitter finish. Medium body, really smooth mouthfeel, very refreshing. Think this is the nicest lager I’ve ever had although it’s probably an IPA. Great stuff.
