The Sweet Spot. Not over 5%, not under 4%, not too hoppy or bitter, just right. Infused with local malt then shotgun married to Cascade, Mosaic and Mandarina Bavaria hops for lovely tangerine fruitiness. Giving the perfect balance of ABV, bitter and sweetness. Dangerously moreish, moreishly dangerous.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma of caramel, citrus, floral and malty. Taste is sharp and bitter citrus. The advertised orange zest comes through late on. Drying finish.

Can from KO: pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma is biscuit and ambiguous fruitiness. Taste is lemony, low bitterness, slightly off finish. Mediocre.

18/7/2021. Can sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers! Pours bubbly bright gold with a small frothy white head. Aroma is citrus, grass, floral, herbal, hint of musty apple. Moderate sweetness and bitterness with a tart edge. Moderate body, quite fizzy. Touch of coconut came through to finish with a light spiced sour. Okay.

Can picked up at Sainsburys. It pours Irn Bru orange with a decent foamy white head. The aroma is sweetish, oily orange, kumquat, grainy, Turkish delight, gummy bears and wine gums. The taste is dry, bitter, floral, grassy, orange blossom, pithy, zesty, orange peel and peppery spice with a drying finish. Average carbonation and fine, prickly carbonation. Not sure the balance is quite there, but there is quite a bit to it.
