(On tap) Clear, golden with a white head. Fresh, flowery hoppiness (NZ Saaz + Nelson Sauvin) adds a lovely fresh aroma. Medium body with lightly sweet, pale malt accents, some flowers and a sweetish, alcoholic finish where also some hops are showing. 300108

5/10 Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
(On tap) Clear, pale golden with a small, white head. Lightly perfumy aroma - essence or flavouring? Medium body with lightly sweet malt and some hard to define fruit accents. Dry finish. Refreshing alright but quite unspectacular. I have since been informed that this contains coriander, tangelo, camomile and ginger. 300108

6/10 Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
(On tap) Clear golden with a bubbly, dissipating, white head - I guess ginger isn’t good for head retention? Distínct aroma of ginger. Medium-bodied with lightly sweet citrus and ginger notes. Dry finish with a spicy and tangy ginger bite. 300108
