355ml can. Pours a clear gold with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Sweet aroma of green apple with floral hops and faint grainy pale malt hiding in the background. Mild sweet flavour of green apple in a slightly tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. I wasn't expecting much, so I can't say that I'm disappointed. Too subtle, almost cidery.

Pretty bad foam on a cloudy orange body. Smells of muddy lemonade, soft hops, okay tartness. Taste is a spicy lemonade, cinnamon maybe, lingering sugar that's cloying and defies the wateriness. An amateur hour sour.
