Can. A light haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied grainy malts, a very mild and thin creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine. Astringent thin and slightly watery citrus hops. Light dry crisp finish. An actual hop spice linger. Appreciate GK trying to do something a little more craft mainstream but, this is quite clunky if not certifiably awful.

More robust hops, some faint malt traces in the body. It’s perfectly drinkable, but unexciting.

Very, very light. Faint traces of hops and citrus, but not much going on.

Old rating - A number of cans at a beach house in West Sussex. Decent dark amber fruity malty ale with good balance & well hopped.

Hazy gold with a bubbly white head and a fruity nose. Fizzy and fresh with fruity notes, hop bitterness and a bittersweet finish.
