New Year's Eve 2025 Beers #2 of 3. Penultimate beer of 2025 and it's a hazy golden one. It's crips tasting with an exotic fruitiness to be found in both aroma and taste, perhaps a little understated through a dryness, but worthy enough.

Can. Nose is herbal, lime. Taste is herbal, floral, leading to wheat and a citrus pith finish.
Fine.

Picked up from Sainsbury’s in Warwick. Good stuff overall,
Plump tropical fruits, low bitterness, mild dankness, some peach, melon, nectarine. A little bitterness would be nice,, but it’s a very decent brew overall.

440ml can at Tŷ Seidr, Aberystwyth. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a big lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, smooth, dry, mineral, light citrus, light pepper spice, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
