Can from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham and shared with the KL Tasting Crew. Poured a hazy straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is grainy malt, mineral, light orange citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a super fresh, crisp, citrus fruit, dry woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Nice tasty and refreshing beer. Especially considering the low amount of alcohol.
Fine cloudy yellow pour with a fine head. Decent hoppy aroma. A bit short ending in this one. Surely due to a bit low bitterness. Semi dry ending. Fine citric, fruity, floral and pine flavor.

Taster, many thanks to Werckmeister!
Yellow, hazy body, with a medium, fluffy, light yellow head.
Aroma of earth, pine, grass, citrus, some tropical fruits, slight biscuit.
Tastes pretty similar. Quite light, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes moderate bitter, a bit dry, a bit sweet, earthy, piney, citric, a bit grassy.
Very nice. Fresh and crisp, with interesting earthy notes. A bit lighter, but really well balanced for the low ABV. Quaffable and characterful.
Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 15
