Can bought at Enid Street. Clear dark orange. Foamy white head. Aroma is definitely orange and spice. Light-medium bitter. Spice and citrus. Underlying malts and soda. Liight. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Fun and that's it.

Golden blonde topped with a white head.
Nose is grass, orange peel, pale malts, straw.

Passable pale ... doesn't do a lot for me.

Thin foamy white head on a hazy dull golden coloured body. Zesty, orange & grain aroma. Medium bodied, soft with a cloying back. Orange, herbal, chalky & white wine tastes with a bitter hopped finish. Nice one.
