Can from Morrisons. Hazy deep golden body with a thick off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange barley and wheat. Flavour follows the aroma but it’s all quite muted. Thin to medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. There’s not much flavour.

A decent, hoppy, crisp but entirely unremarkable IPA. A bit of zesty fruit, a little malt. Nothing to write home about but drinkable enough.

Decent enough.
