An easy drinking golden beer where tropical flavours come to the fore ahead of a subtle yet rewarding bitterness.

Pours a clear light golden colour with a good sized foamy white head that settled to a creamy small head. Aroma is light malt, floral and fruity, peach and tropical. A surprising biscuit malty taste, fruity flavours and a little nuttiness and a light bitterness in the finish.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear golden. Hoppy fruity appley nose. Medium sweet with rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Caramel covered in apple syrup. Despite the evident hop presence green apples comes to dominate. Lingering hop-bitter finish.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, floral nose with apricots, green apples, biscuity malt and discreet citrus notes. Fruity, floral, fresh taste with notes of biscuity malt, apricots and a moderate floral bitterness in a fairly short finish. Rather thin body. Fresh but on the thin side.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 08. Gold, bubbly beige head. Some decent citrusy fruits on aroma. It’s got some nuts in the mouth. Pretty decent bitter, moderate fruit, has an almost minty flavour. Must have liked it from the score.
