Can shared in London - big thanks to Davey. Pours hazy yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds dried lemon, pithy citrus, pale bread. Light sweet flavour, really dry and pithy, pine needles, hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Dry and bitter in the finish, quite pithy, a little chalky, some lemon peel, pine needles. Just OK overall.

440ml can. Murky orange pour with a frothy white head, dissipating. Tropical fruity aroma, malts. Taste is also light sweet and tropical, grapefruit, mango, papaya, dry bitter finish. Light bodied, soft carbonation. While not outstanding by itself, it's certainly one of the best low ABV beers I've ever had, packs in an impressive flavour for just 2.9%.

Can, picked up at the brewery. Dirty gold. Scummy head. Not a looker. Nose has oats. Sugary malts. The dextrose addition is very evident. Some fruity hop, by way of a Juicy Fruit gum kind of vibe. Taste has a little sweetness, but is mostly dry and lightly bitter. Light body, as you’d expect. Short, bitter finish. Feels a bit artificial, somehow. Not a fan of this one.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a strong combination of citrus and onion with a bit of grapefruit and grains underlying. Flavor combines onion, citrus and pine with grass and grains backing.
