Can at home, from Thornbridge online, 07/05/22. Clear golden blonde, carbonation evident, good sized lasting white head. Nose is pale malts, light breads, melon, tangerine, hint of cereals. Taste comprises orange peel, soapy notes, grass, airy malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with modest hop bitterness. Average stuff at best. .. wouldn't have picked this up if I'd realised it was brewed for the supermarket business ... just comes over as being brewed on the cheap.

Can from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Blackley. Blonde beer with a head. Has a primarily hoppy character, its fruitiness is less obvious but at its strength it's still a very drinkable brew.
