Rocky white head on an unclear dull golden coloured body. Muted citrus & chalk aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a cloying back. Melon, lemon, chalky & floral tastes with a bitter finish. Delicate.

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy pale golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of chalky, flinty malt and lemon peel. Flavour of white grape, underripe peach and crisp pale malt. Medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. Very crisp and bitter. A refreshing beer, ideal for the sunny weather.

Can from Raynville Superstore. It pours ever so lightly hazy straw yellow with a fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, tangy, juicy, lemon cordial, lemon curd, white grape jelly, pic n mix and biscuity malt in the backdrop. The taste is crispy, dry, firm, fairly clean, zingy lemon curd, twist of lime, gooseberry, custard creams, bread, straw, touch of spice and light herbal accents with a dry finish. Average body and moderate, massaging carbonation. Feels mellow and subdued but actually has some nice nuances to it. Very quaffable.
