Bottle from Tesco. Poured a clear light amber with a frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is light grassy hop citrus. The flavour is medium bitter with a woody hop bitter, light metallic, light sweet palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Served on the cool side. More of a golden ale than a bitter. I’d buy this again.

Bottle from Asda. Copper-gold with a thin head. Good pale ale nose that holds most of the fruit flavours in this one. It’s taste is understated but it’s light texture means it’s an easy drinking ale.

Clear golden beer with a thick foamy head. Light citrus aroma with a distinct lemon edge to it. The flavour is initially bittersweet but it doesn’t stay strong for long. It settles into a hoppy, tangy but light flavour with just a touch of malt in the finish. Drinkable but nothing special.

Bottle. Amber with an inch of white head. Floral aroma with hay, white peaches, oranges, some berries, light spices. Light bodied, rather fizzy. Bittersweet taste with honeyed hay, rather more grapefruity citrus than suggested by the aroma. Dryish and fairly bitter at the end. Hoppy and refreshing. Damn that Tricky-Woo.

500ml Bottle: BBD 28 Sep 14, poured into a UK pint sleeve on 15 Feb 14. Nice looking brew, light amber body with a good head that lasted well. The nose was a blend of light malts, hedgerow fruitiness and woody notes. The taste was also a blend, with the malts just about winning the battle with the hops that have now turned slightly citrus in nature. Dry bittering finish with a long aftertaste. Not too bad at all for a 4.0% ABV session ale.
