330ml can. Hazy yellow-gold, frothy white head, nice retention. Aroma of white grapes, straw, lemon. Taste has these elements but a little more focused on the citrus which makes it fairly refreshing. Moderate bitter and juicy finish. Light to moderate body, fairly smooth on the palate. Not bad.

330ml bottle. Pours light gold, minor head and no retention. Fruity hops, light caramel malts and oats. Light body and soft carbonation. Very light bitterness. Not the greatest looking beer and its quite light but very flavoursome and has a good session quality to it.
