Light clear amber, small white head, decent retention. Aroma of cheap malts, stale hops, metal, additives. Taste is as bad as it smells with a real abrasive bitter hop and the grapefruit flavouring probably never came from the fruit as it tastes almost synthetic like. Cloying mouthfeel. Awful but marginally better then the strawberry lager.

Thin off white head left a spotty cover on well carbonated amber body. Malt, toffee & damp cardboard aroma Medium bodied, lively with a cloying back. Malt, fake fruit & sweet syrup tastes with a tangy finish. Absolutely awful.

Can from Aldi Supermarket, Milnrow. Dark golden with a thin head. Citrus based brew with a fair malty base. Although not blessed with a lot of flavour its grapefruit does provide a spice-like citrus kick with a hint of sourness in its aftertaste.

[44cl can from Aldi, Bracknell.] A pale amber pour with a fast fading white head; odd aroma - unripe fruit?; thin and lagery in the mouth, with some sweet indistiguishable fruit. Poor.

440ml can from Aldi - Clear gold body, no head. Taste is sour and bitter, stale lemonade and grapefruit pith. Not drainpour, but not far off it. Cack. Edit: Just read the other reviews, wish I'd read them earlier.

44cl can from Aldi. Thin white head. Clear golden pour. Grapefruit aftertaste. A bit sweet. Not very pleasant. I won't be buying this again.

440ml can. Pours burnt gold with a small head. Aroma is acrid sharp grapefruit. Taste has sweet and sharp grapefruit throughout with a weird acrid sickiness on the finish.
