British & American hops unite to make a sessionable pale ale that's packed with citrus flavour. Now that's a special relationship.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Ocado. Pours crystal clear gold with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds crispy pale malts, light citrus rind, pine needles. Lightly sweet flavour with more crisp pale malts, mild bitterness, further citrus rind, bland piney bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Simple finish, some dry pale bread, more soft pine needles, mellow citrus accents. Pretty drinkable, but quite neutered.

330ml bottle. Aroma is bitter and fruity with some peach and maybe a little strawberry. Taste is mostly just bitter with little else worth noting.

Aroma of hops, decent head on yellow, flavour of okay hops. Medium finish. Just adequate, nothing exciting here but probably a nice unintrusive beer for those who like those kinds of things.

Clear amber beer. Light bitter scent. Lively on the tongue and crisp when cool but there’s really not much going on. A splash of citrus, some hop, maybe a hint of caramel but that’s about the sum of it. Disappointing.

*Keg-sample at Heathrow Terminal 5. Light and sessionable brew. Not too deep, floral with a crisp body. Nice and round, not too deep, but solid made!

0.33 l bottle at Pivkan Beer Fest, Zagreb, Croatia, few years ago. Pours clear yellow. Citrus, bitter orange, zest. Bitter, but quite tasty. Body to light.

330ml bottle. Clear golden orange colour with a small creamy white head, which thins but leaves lacing. Aroma is citrusy hops, kind of orangey, a little malty. Taste is hoppy, orange citrus, malts. Flavours are a bit more subdued than is typical but quite nice.
