330ml can, via Beer52. Poured into an old Duvel glass at home on 21st July 2025. Snow white crown on a very pale golden body, clean and clear. Head left before I actually wrote about it (this is live rating). Bland citrus nose and flavour, it's like a fizzy boring shandy. Probably the worse beer I've had from Thornbridge.

330ml can. Pours a pale yellow-gold with thin white top. Aroma and taste has a grapefruit, lime, peach and herbal edge. Decent body for the strength, smooth but with light resin quality and moderate carbonation. Good.
