Pours pale amber, with a slight haze, a bubbly white head and a sweet citrus aroma. Relatively fizzy, the taste is slightly sweet, with hints of berry fruit and caramel, then citrus hops and dry bitterness come through

BBE in 9 months. Cloudy deep orange with decent small white head. Tropical fruit aroma with sweet malt. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation and sweetness. Taste is grapefruit, pine, caramel malts. Finish is a peppery dry bitterness. Not quite a wow factor but very enjoyable. Only my second APA after the Brewdog version. I wasn’t expecting a brewed for supermarket version to be better but that’s the fun of discovering new beers I guess.

Amber colour with soapy head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of orange zest. Juicy. Floral in the finish.

As a Brewed for [supermarket] this is pretty solid. Bittersweet tropical fruit, hops, a bit of caramel to smooth it out, crisp and with a decent dry backtaste. Not too shabby at all.

330ml can. Poured a hazy medium to light amber with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is light grainy, toffee caramel malt, light citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a light, crisp, slightly watery, caramel malt, light citrus hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Most of the flavour is coming from the malts. I dispute their statement that this beer is “well hopped”. Relative to what? Having said that, it’s drinkable, just a little bland.
