Best before 05/24, I have bought this can at Stumpf Getränkmarkt, in august 2023, if I am not wrong. I have tasted this can yesterday, at Epalinges, before to sleep. Gold and clear body, light carbonation, white foam. A light pale ale, a bit boring but it was ok for me, malty, a bit sweet and fruity with some resinous notes, bitter and citrus, good option for the summer.

This is the AF beer that I come back to again and again. It looks like beet and tastes like beer, so what's not to like?? Malt hops and a beery texture. I would have preferred something with alcohol, but as I have to go and pick up middle daughter later that wasn't going to happen.

[50cl bottle from my local Waitrose.] A bright amber pour with a tight white head; citrusy aroma; some tropical fruit tastes to start then lemony citrus with a good caramel malt body; then a sweet finish with a traditional hoppy bitterness overlaid with some pithy citrus. Very drinkable.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Brown malts upfront with notes of tobacco, dark breadcrust, caramel, and a hint of chocolate. Mild to medium bittersweet, a bit thin body. Nicely malty, not a beer to sip on but to drink agressively.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma of nuts, dark fruits, berries, caramel and a hint of banana. Not really getting the pineapple and grapefruit mentioned in the description. Dry roasted malts come through. Initial carbonation relaxes later on. Not bad.

Cask at The Nelson pre Ipswich v Sheffield Wednesday. Aroma is malty, hoppy, citrus with a touch of grass. Taste is good with citrus, malty bitterness. Nice.
