A smashing beer, perfect ice cold. Dry hopped with Citra & Simcoe hops (lupulin powder), waves of guava and passionfruit crash with big citrus flavours. This light coloured ale brings a big splash of cool refreshment. Iceberg ahead.

[as Greene King Ice Breaker] Bottiglia. Al naso l'aroma rimanda al fruttato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, pane cotto di recente, luppolo, un accenno di resinoso e agrumi.

Keg at Thainstone House. It pours hazy orangey amber with a thick, fluffy carbonation. The aroma is sweet, rich tea biscuit, bready, lemonade, floral, marmalade and a touch of peach. The taste is fairly crisp, dry, weak bitterness, chalky, bready, pithy, zesty citrus, orange peel, floral and grass with a drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Absolutely ok to be honest. I've had a lot worse for a makro ale.

[February 2022] Another one served far too cold, but not a bad effort really. Cear and golden with a small bubbly white head and a fruity aroma with a touch of cereal malt in there. Citrus and hop bitterness with a light malt backbone, and just a hint of pine
