A light and refreshing pale golden beer with hints of banana and pineapple. Crafted with a fine blend of the best English malted barley and mainly fresh local Fuggles hops from Puttenham but with some aroma hops at the end of the boil. A good balanced beer with a long dry finish and a sense of sweetness.

Bottle from Aldi. Dark gold with a slightly odd orange hue. Malty and grainy with a slight fruity hint (tangerine?) in the nose. Decent sweet taste with only slight hop bitterness at the end of the sip. Not so sure about the aftertaste, which along with a welcome floral note has a corny astringency like many poor lagers. This isn’t a bad beer, and I like it a bit more as it goes on,but it’s highly unlikely to become one of my favourites.

Bottle from Tesco Winchester. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is sweet peachy fruit, light caramel. The flavour is moderate bitter with a smooth light fresh fruit, hop bitter palate and a shirt bitter finish. Moderate to light bodied with average carbonation.

Clear deep golden colour, one finger frothy slightly off-white head, stays a short while before dissipating to a thin layer and good lacing. Aroma is malty, grainy, grass, bit of caramel, touch of citrus. Flavour medium sweetbitter, bit of caramel; medium body, oily to creamy texture, soft carbonation. Finish dry light bitter, a smooth and refreshing bitter.
