Bottle. This was a terrible beer. It was very weak and watery with a nasty taste.

Cloudy yellow/golden pour. Malt, (sweet) citrus, lemonade. The lemon juice makes it slightly less sweet than others. Alright for what it is.

Clear golden pour with a (very) small white head. Mainly malts, taste adds some fruit. A bit watery, even for an AF:

Can ordered from Beautiful Beers, Bury St Edmunds. Aroma has sour edged caramel. Classic dark amber. Head disappears in seconds. The flava mirrors tbe aroma, if in a more refined way. Citrus sourness backed up by sugary caramel. Slightly chemical but not to its detriment. Light. Thin if slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly dry finish. Refreshing. Pleasent.
