Can. Misted gold with a white head. Meyer lemon pith and leaf aroma with crackers. Some pretty plain sweetness holds up prominent citrus before a modestly bitter finish. A bit one dimensional but OK. Once would have been called a golden ale.

Can. Misted gold, a cm of white head fades fast. Shyish grapefruit and crackery bread aroma. Very clean and fairly light bodied with rich enough malt to support citrus peel and modest bitterness. Pleasant enough; a bit under-powered.

Draft @ disndat, Dublin. Slightly cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of grapefruits and lemons. Taste of malts, lemons, grapefruits and biscuits. A juicy kind of sourness keeps lingering on. Moderate to strong bitterness. Strong carbonation. Refreshing and proper.

It is an average red ale. The color is always beautifuo red and orange. The taste is sweet, toffee, malty and a small touch of bitterness, 29.04.16, at Prélaz, buying it at the ex grain d'orges, Crissier.

Had to meet my parents for this deeper clear amber coloured ale to give them their Grand National Xmas present tickets. I paid more attention to them than the brew but it was a solid enough pint within the style. Lighty sweet, very mild bitterness.
