Poured from 330mL bottle (labelled 2016/06/17 - 2017/11/01). Clear golden orange with minimal white head. Toffee and vegetable with mild caramel malt and subtle metallic taste. Quite below average, a bit boring.

Bottle at Station, West Byfleet. Nothing else left to try so was left with this. Floral grassy yeasty aroma - almost lager-esque. Dark gold. Creamy but thin white head, Bubbly. Initially sweet and malty before a hoppy spiced bitterness makes a half-hearted appearance. Light bodied. Watery. Lively Carbonation. Abrupt finish. The blurb on the bottle refers to, bold American pale ales, but that is was off the mark. Bland and bland gets.

33cl Bottle at Roundhouse, during Desertfest. Hazy pale golden colour, white head. Aroma of light grapefruit, citrus, floral, light malty. Flavour is likewise, a bit soapy, light floral citrusy bitterness, easy drinking. Light bodied, a bit watery. I enjoyed it.

Bottle, 0.33l. Clear orange pour with slight reddish hue. One finger white head, quickly diminishing. Nose is malty, slight hoppy. Touch of caramel. Thin body with slightly above average carbonation, a bit prickly. Regular texture, a bit on the watery side. Moderately bitter taste. Light. Aroma of malts and hops, slight caramel, a bit grassy. Refreshing citrus presence. Herbal with subtle honey-like notes. Dry mouthfeel and finish. Overall, not bad. Quite decent for the low ABV. Nothing extraordinary, but a good thirst quencher.

Dorada limpia, espuma blanca. Aroma cereal, maiz. Recuerda cerveza sin alcohol. En boca tiene un buen punto de gas, base malteada dulzona y contrapunto lupulado herbal, acabando con un amargor seco y moderado.

Bottle. Clear golden. Modest white head. No that stable. Lacing present. Smells of biscuit, metal, spicy & fruity hops. Light body. Oily texture. Dry taste. Fruity. Biscuity. Medium bitterness of UK nature. Drinkable. Decent
