The beer is made from a blend of East Anglian malted barley, Boadicea and First Gold hops and high grade malted wheat which is then filtered to allow the aromas and flavours within the beer to remain. Spindrift is top-fermented and it should be served chilled with a thick, continental-style head. (Contains barley & wheat).

Bottle from sainsburys. Very strange onion and orange aroma. A bit skunked as well. Golden yellow in colour. Thin white head that does not last long. Flavour is a little stale malt. Thin palate. Orange citrus finish. Worst beer I’ve had in a long time.

Fra fat på Ice Wharf, Camden 6 Nov 12. Lys gyldenbrun med et fraværende skum. God fruktig aroma. Smaken er mørke druer. Frisk. Litt for mye kullsyre.

(330ml Bottle from Sainburys) Pours golden colour, small white head quickly diminishing. Aroma is sweet malt, hops, grass. Taste is sweet malts, pine/grass fruity hops notes. Overall not bad really, pretty tasty/drinkable/refreshing - sure would be even better outside on a hot day than in current climate!

Keg, full pint at JDWs Ice Wharf in Camden. Clear copper body with a near naked surface. Pale malts together with grassy hops to the nose. Lemony fruity taste on a pale malty backbone. Mild malt-bitter endnotes. Clean, refreshing and really not so much taste. Quite harmless with the breakfast (London, 06.11.2012).

Blue bottle: Deep golden, a bit hazy, small stable white layer, light to moderate spicy (piney and medical ) hoppy nose; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; lingering bitter-sweet finish with the faintest papery traces. Quite decent...

330 ml bottle. Pours a clear gold with light head that dissipates quickly. Sour floral aroma with pine and banana notes. A mixed bag of fruity tastes: over ripe peaches, tropical fruits, and apples. Additional resin and pine flavors. Not a great combination but maybe OK with fruit salad. Certainly doesn’t evoke images of sea spray blown off a cresting wave. Why would anybody say that about a beer. There should be a "marketing" category - plus marks for the blue bottle, minus marks for the silly analogy.

(bottle) Clear golden, little head. Aroma is primarily citrus with grassy notes. Light body, medium carbonation. Flavour status with citrus balanced by light malt, moving to a slightly hoppy finish hat has a seaweed / grass character. Falls a bit lat in the fnish. Overall, refreshing and pleasant.

(bottle, 33cl) Clear, deep golden colour with a mid-sized off-white foamy head. Mildly cara-malty aroma with notes of grassy and slightly fruity hops, also hints of wet cardboard. Moderately bitter flavour, dry mouthfeel, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly papery malty base with traces of caramel and present grassy and herbal hops; dry and moderately bitter hoppy finish, again slightly papery. 08.IV.12

330ml bottle. Clear orangey golden colour with small frothy, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy, slightly wheaty and bitter hoppy aroma with a fresh lemongrass note. Fresh taste, decent sweetness, a touch of orange. Light-bodied, but a very drinkable thirst quencher.
