330ml can: BBD April 2022. Drank at home on 9th April 2022, so pretty old can. Misty orange body, decent white crown on top. Tropical fruits and white wine aroma. Taste also fruity and winey. Semi-sweet, semi-boozy, semi-citrussy.

330ml can: BB March 2022. Drank at home on 3rd April 2022, so a month out of date. Clear golden body until the sediment came out at the end; it ended up a cloudy orange with an off-white head. Citrussy with a grapefruit front and an orange like undertone. Decent!

Tap at PoW, Farnborough. Aroma has citrus, a touch of sherbert, yeast. Pale gold. Bubbly. Thin translucent white head. Medium bitter. Citrus edge. Underlying saccharine sweetness is restrained. Light. Watery. Flat if prickly carbonation. Long dry finish. Just not my thing and pretty uninspiring.

Bottle from Asian Oriental Supermarket, Farnborough. Lively stuff - I have to grab a cloth. Aroma had citrus, a yeasty streak and grainy floralness. Makes me think of a Wit. A light haze to the copper gold body. Thick foamy white head. Medium bitter. Citrus streak. Grainy. A rice as opposed to malt base? Light-medium bodied. Slick. Prickly fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. This has been added as a Pale Lager but makes me think of a IPL. Refreshing and crisp after an unusual day of actually being in the office.
