Can from Beers of Europe. Clear gold with big fluffy white top. Citric, pine and light floral aroma. Very light soft mouthfeel. Taste of lemon zest, orange, pine needles, grass but all in a light way you would expect for a 4% pale. Very sessionable.

440ml can (yes, I know this is the cask version rating page, but it's 4.2% ABV and obviously the same beer in principle. BBE November 2024, from Beers of Europe. Drank at home on 21st September 2024 during a mini-tasting-session with myself while Margie was out with friends. Poured robustly into a UK vase shaped pint glass. Slight misty body, deep amber in colour, off-white foam on top. Malty feel with a decent hop bitterness, woody, earthy and a bit of a throw back to traditional English Bitters. Liked it.
