Can from Asda labelled 'Vic Secret' at 5% but very likely the same beer. Pours a semi-hazed yellow-gold with white top, modest retention. Nice fresh hoppy Aroma of citrus, lychee, spice, light flora. There is a nice earthy-pine bitterness running through. The grapefruit and lychee fruitiness felt a bit too low down in the mix at first considering the aroma but this is no NE pale and it becomes more pronounced on repeated sips. Nice bittersweet balance. Good medium body and fine carbonation adds enough bite and remains refreshing. Enjoyable.

440ml can from Asda as Vic Secret (5% ABV). Cloudy gold in colour, with a slight, white, head. Sharp aroma of lime, white pepper and grassy hops. Flavour had a lot of tropical fruit, jammy sweetness and some light malts. Finish was dry. An enjoyable beer.
