A Limonata Pale… An Ultra Pale which emulates almost toxic levels of citrus zing. A nuclear sherbet dib-dab of lemon, lime and tropical pineapple.

440ml can. Pale yellow, small white head, good retention. Aroma of grapefruit, mango, very tropical, a little grassy. Taste is grapefruit, passionfruit, citrus zest, sweet, hint of resin, orange. Light to moderate body with a lovely soft carbonation. Wow a very fruity citrusy pale, I'm impressed with this one for 4.1%.
