Bottle from B&M, Liverpool. Clear golden with next to no head. Light enough texture to enjoy and goes down the palate with ease. Has a very small hoppy tropical fruit nose and flavour.

500ml bottle from B&M, Shrewsbury. Pours clear copper, fast receding bubbly head. Thin lagery taste with light citrus hops and a moderate sweetness. Taste got boring and a touch stale rather quickly and found it difficult to finish.

500ml bottle. Clear, deep golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Cautious strawy aroma, a fruity touch of gooseberry. Taste is minmally strawy, hoppy overtones with a fruity touch of gooseberry. Suitable hop touch, otherwise cautious, anaemic, monotonous overall.

Bottle from B&M Canterbury and drunk at home. Clear orange gold colour with lasting thick white head. Not a great aroma. Better in the mouth with some citrus lemon and lime flavour. Finish is the best with some hop sting. Aroma is a little off putting. It’s ok. I’d drink a half of it for the finish. Definitely wouldn’t buy it again though.

Bottle from Tesco, Watford. Poured a clear, dark golden colour with a halo of white head. Incredibly light aroma, some pilsener malt and a weird hint of Vaseline. Similar lack of flavour; light grain and some peach-like sweetness. Watery on the palate with a hint of malt and caramel. If the aim was to brew an ale that tasted like a bland, mass-produced lager; they pretty much got it.

Appearance: Hazy golden color with a white head. Light lacing.
Aroma: Sour fruity and a bit acidic.
Palate: Medium body. Moderate sweet and a moderate bitterness. Soft carbonation. A bit dry.
Taste: Mild malty, sour fruity and fresh acidic.
Overall impression: Ehhh a beer with a touch of madness. I am not sure it was ment to be like this. And when reading my rating you might think this was bad. It was not. Nice, fresh and tasty actually. But very weird.
Personal stats: On tap at The Globe in Liverpool, England.
