Baseded on the brewing traditions of Prussia and Saxony but given a modern hop treatment. This thirst quencher is fragrant, clean and acidic.
Hopped with Ahtanum; it’s like drinking grapefruit juice in beer form

Bottle thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - cloudy golden orange with a thin head. Nose - apricots and cream. Taste - dried apricots and light spice. Wood too. Palate - light bodied with a dry tangy lean middle section and finish. Overall - really lovely.

Bottle at Ashton McCobb’s. Pours hazy gold with a thin white head. Aromas of sour funk, lactic, heavy citrus grapefruit vibe. Taste is bitter grapefruit, oranges, sour funk. Woody funk, yeast stress finish.

Bottle from Mother Kelly’s. It pours cloudy deep gold with a medium white head. The nose is fresh, zesty lemon bomb, old-fashioned lemonade, lime sherbet and earth. The taste is crisp, tart, freshly squeezed lemon, grapefruit, lime, sherbet, light soapy action, earthy, decent acidity and light pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, fizzy carbonation. Refreshing stuff.

Very hazy dark gold beer, big pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Mild sourness jars against a little earthyness. Citric pith, bitter lemon and grapefruit. Skewed floralness. Dry and slightly bitter finish. The flavours didn’t gel that well for me, found it slightly hard going.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy golden body with a thin off-white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of earth, grapefruit, orange pith and lime. Flavour of grapefruit, salted lemon and tonic water. Thin body with a spritzy texture. Very fizzy. Does what it says on the tin - extremely sour. I like it, but I wouldn’t have more than one.

Cask @ Piccadilly Tap, Manchester. A cloudy pale orange colour with a small bubbly head. Has a large citrus sourness that’s more stated in its aroma than taste, but prevalent throughout with a bitterness.
