500ml bottle. Clear copper amber colour, bubbly white head and floral hoppy aroma. Taste is watery malt caramel, with a peppery hop note and a dry bitterness that lingers. Light to medium bodied and low carbonation. Quite OK considering the low alcohol level.

500ml bottle from Morrisons (are they the only retailer that does this?) - Nice clear amber, wispy white head. Nose of citrus, a bit flowery and tropical. Tastes a little sweet, cheap toffee, caramel, sugary, but not as thin as I’d expect. The finish has a little bitterness, not much, but enough to let you know you’ve had some beer. Overall not bad considering it’s a low ABV, i wouldn’t refuse this if offered.

Clear amber beer with a thin head. A mild aroma with a citric edge to it. The flavour is also not especially strong though that’s probably to be expected. Citrusy and slightly hoppy as well, it’s not anything special but it’s quite pleasant for a fairly low-alcohol beer.

Bottle from Morrisons, Sidcup. Mahogany coloured pour with a white head. Toffee and citrus aroma. Quite a crisp, refreshing taste. Splash of citrus here and there with hints of caramel. Quite a sweet/fruity angle. Lightly bitter finish. Not bad at all.
