Lemon & Orange Pale Ale
Serpentine is a perfect pale for the summer. Motueka and Amarillo hops compliment the citrus addition creating a refreshing, easy drinking beer with hints of lemon and orange.

Half-pint, draught at Euston Tap. Fair white head, upper part lacing, hazy warm golden body. Ripe lemon and orange on the nose, moderate. Citrus fruity flavours, herbal hops to it. Refreshing fruity bitter finish. Quite alright. (Euston, Greater London 06.11.2022).

440ml can from Thornbridge Beer Club - Hazy orange body, frothy white top. Weak citrus nose, taste a little washed out. Get all the orange and lemons, but nothing thrilling. A bit ordinary, needs a lot more oomph.

Can. Thornbridge subscription box. Hazed straw gold. Thick white foam. Looks like a witbier. Nose has wheat. Citrus peel. Light fruity hop. Taste is dry, tangy and sharply bitter. Weird soapy mouthfeel manages to feel dry and slightly acidic. High foamy carbonation. Short sharp finish. Didn’t get on with this one.

Tight white head on a hazy pale lemon coloured body. Zesty lemon & citrussy aroma. Medium bodied, foamy in the tongue with a sharp dry back. Orange, lemon, zesty & chalky tastes with a pithy almost sour finish. Would have been great on the patio in the summer...

Can from Garsons Farm Shop, West End. Aroma certainly had lemon and orange sharpness but it's somewhat muted. Grainy. Earthy. Hazy pale yellow. Foamy white head soon fades. Light-medium bitter. Low key oily citrus sourness. Underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Perhaps suffering from being out on a shelf during a heatwave (even today the shop was stuffy at 24c) but this is a dull muted affair. No summery zest here.
