A mix of pale, lager, wheat malt produces a golden beer reminiscent of sandy beaches and sunshine. English, American and Slovenian hops are used to give zesty lemon and grapefruit notes.

Adding in my 300 Beers To Try ticks because I want to see how they impact my stats and some of them I will never see again. Will however re-rate them when practical. Ordered on-line from Scotland. Hit the spot for whatever reason.

500ml bottle from Aldi - Hazy amber body, medium white head. Nose is a tinny caramel, yeasty, basement aroma. Taste is metallic, weak caramel, bit of a wash out. Not the best, not the worst.
