A refreshing hazy smooth tropical pale which breaches the flavour threshold resulting in a fruity mouthfill bursting with citrus fruits of lemon, lime and melon and after hints of coconut.

Half-pint, draught at 33 Bottles. Shared with Finn. Steady white tophead, leaving crocheted lacing on the glass, hazy grey-golden body. Subdued aromas of slightly spiced citrus fruits. Flavoured with lemon and herbal hops, grainy malts beneath. Ripe citrus end. Approved. (Gosport 19.10.2022).

Keg at Love Beer London. Predominantly citrus aroma. Very pale hazy orange. Thin translucent white head. Light sour satsuma citrus with the vaguest bitterness. Medium bodied. Slick. Lifted by soft-fizzy carbonation. Relatively abrupt dry finish. Very sessionable.

Cask (Bookshop Alehouse, Southampton) - Hazy golden in colour. Pineapple, melon, grapefruit and peach in the aroma. The taste is hoppy and fairly light with notes of pineapple, passion fruit, grapefruit and lemon standing out. Refreshing and enjoyable, although it does not taste as strong as it is.
