Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear light golden/yellow colour with a thin throthy white head. Low carbonation in the glass. Aromas of floral, light citrus, biscuits and a hint of spice. Taste is citrus and floral with a hint of tropical fruit, peppery spice and a big grassy hop bitterness on the finish. Medium body, average carbonation on the palate and slightly oily mouthfeel. Fresh summery beer. Good.

50cl bottle from Waitrose, Bracknell. A pale amber pour with a fast fading white head; jammy aroma; sweet jammy taste with some orange and lemon; and a lemonade-like acidity adding a touch of bitterness. Seems to be over-pasteurised to me.

500ml bottle into a UK pint sleeve at home on 11th Dec 2015. Very pale golden/blonde, straw coloured in fact, the head a thin white covering. Citrusy nose and taste with some melon like flavourings too. Better than it looks thank goodness, refreshing and crisp, a bit ’Lager like’ to be honest, but with more flavour and depth.
