12/4/2025. Can bought at Adnams store, Aldeburgh. Pours clear pale golden orange with a small frothy white head. Aroma is piney, resin, fruity, citrus, grassy, light herb. Moderate sweetness, quite bitter, a little unpleasantly so. Moderate body, watery, quite fizzy. Hides its abv. Disappointing.

Gold with a frothy, white head. Vaguely fruity aroma with hints of peaches, berries and caramel. Taste is mildly bitter on a thin, watery palate. Light bodied, moderate to mild carbonation, relatively dry. Mild, lingering fruitiness. Refreshing. Ok.
