440ml can. Poured a hazy golden colour with a short-lived, fizzy white head. The aroma is malt, light toffee citrus. The flavour is moderate to light bitter and sweet, with a crisp, slightly watery, light toffee, biscuit. woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Not the greatest but it was on the BBE date.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Waitrose Canary Wharf. Pours clear yellow-gold with a foamy, white topping. Lightly sweet with subdued citrusy hops, soft grassy bitterness, some biscuity pale malts, light pithy notes. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Mellow dryness in the finish, more pithy lemon and grapefruit, dried pale malts. Real easy-drinking stuff.
