440ml Can from Staggeringly Good Brewery, Portsmouth (online shop). A hazy golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit aroma and taste. An enjoyable SIPA with bags of flavour. Liked this.

Can ordered from the brewery. Aroma of lemon drops with a grassy edge. Hazy pale yellow gold. Fizzy foamy translucent white head. Medium bitter with tangy sherbert citrus sour. Although the bitterness and sourness then drop off and malts plus an almost onion flavour then come through (and now I am thinking that this is in the aroma too). Light-medium bodied. Slick if thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Decent enough for what is marketed as a no budget beer. I guess it does feel a tad watered down but no complaints for 4.5% Session (NE)IPA.
