On average less than 10 people in the UK die from a bee or wasp sting per year. It's a colourful insect coloured yellow-orange, hazy and almost juice-like in appearance. Somewhat soapy in texture, it's quite full in its tropical and stone fruit mixed taste, and fair in aroma too.

Keg at Mad Squirrel HWY, 22/08/2025.
Almost clear golden orange topped with a just off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is grass, herb, lemon rind, hedgerow, faint lime.
Taste comprises lime leaf, grass, herb, balsa wood, lemon zest, good Sabro spike, hay bale.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a mellow puckering edge.
Tidy refresher and delivers on the Sabro promise.
