Very decent bitter pale ale. Pours a hazy pale gold with a fluffy white head, and a mellow sweet citrus fruit aroma, subtle pineapple notes also apparent. The fruitiness is there initially in the flavour but is quickly overtaken by a lovely dry bitterness that lasts into the finish

Tight foamy white head stayed on an unclear lemon coloured body. Fruity hopped aroma. Medium to thin bodied, tingly with a cloying back. Pith, grapefruit, pine, hoppy & citrus tastes. All a bit limp.

Can from Beer 52. Describes itself as a “hazy pale”, and thankfully it is only “hazy” and not “cloudy” or “murky”. What there is of an aroma is lemon and grapefruit. As previously mentioned, pours a slightly hazy very pale yellow, with virtually no head at all. Fruity hops dominate the mouth, with grapefruit, lemon and a hint of pineapple. More fruity bitterness in the finish. Not my kind of beer at all, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a thin white head; flowery citrus aroma; sharper grapefruity taste with a light bready body; and a pithy citrus finish with lingering melon. Crisp and refreshing.

330ml can via Beer52; BB 10th Oct 2021. Drank at home on 10th Nov 2020, third beer in a mini tasting with myself. Misty golden body, thin but smooth white head. Yet another citrus flavoured beer, beginning to tire of them now.

330ml can. Hazy gold, small white head, ok retention. Herbs, white grapes, grapefruit, quite aromatic in aroma. Taste is quite juicy, somewhat grassy, moderate bitterness. Light body, hops quite fresh, refreshing as a drink. Its not exciting but its good decent beer.
