Drank fresh on tap at Dry Dock. Golden color, big hoppy, citrusy and piney nose. Hop bomb start and then a touch of malt hits the back of the throat to balance things. This is so sweet. Nice fragerant bitter finish. Yummy

First beer on a hot night. It did what I wanted to do, be light, refreshing and a good starter beer. Not really tart enough to be a great fruit beer, but great for pounding on hot summer days.

Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Ooweeee!! Belter alert!! Poured a hazy amber colour with some floater action swirlin and twirlin in there and a decent looking off white head. Aroma jam packed full of resinous hop and tropical fruit....as indeed was the flavour. Some sweetness evident, but all in proportion, and this just clicks supremely.Just a hugely enjoyable drink that I could gladly drain all day.
