Large creamy white head on an unclear golden coloured body - Looks great.
Zesty citrus aroma.
Medium bodied, sharp & lively with a clean back.
Pale malt, citrus, grainy & earthy tastes with a tangy citrus.
Refreshing.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear gold with small white top. Aroma of pale malt, citrus, hint of berry and old cardigans. Taste of butter, lime zest, bread crust, quite bitter. Very drying in the finish and the lightish body only gives some respite to this. Not great.

Thanks to Simon. Fantastic grainy bitter beginning. Smooth bitter dry grain. Sessionable dry, malty dusty, nice Ale characteristics. Bitter dry aftertaste.
