Inoffensive. Short on character. A little pithy lemon, soft bitter pine needles, crispy pale grain. Drinkable enough although there’s not much to it.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Almost clear deepish gold beer, very small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thinnish malts but no complaints about sweetness being inadequate. Crisp pine hop intro into a very pleasing crisp hop fruity array, broad spectrum stuff here. Citrus and tropical fruits, even a touch of berries. Light, bright and well integrated with light but insistent hop spice throughout. Really good flavours for such a lightweight brew

Can at home, from Siren online, 08/05/24. Clear golden blonde with a good sized lasting white head. Nose is mellow citric zest, grass, toasted malts, melon, tangerine. Taste comprises grass, pine nip, light stoned fruits, tangerine, toasted malts, grapefruit twist. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light danko twist to the predominantly grassy hop bitterness. Pleasant session gear for the meagre ABV.

Rocky white head left a froth on a hazy dull golden coloured body. Zesty citrus aroma. Medium to thin bodied, well carbonated with a clean back. Lemon, pineapple, tangy hops & zesty tastes. Great for the ABV.

Some form of serving at Cassidy's, Alton. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Hazy amber. Thick foamy translucent white head. Light bitter. Plus sherbert. More punchy stone fruit than resin. Sherbert. Light. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Nice.
