440ml can as part of a delivery from Northumbrian Gifts and drunk at home. Note that the can advertised Ernest, Jester and Olicana hops, but otherwise the packaging was the same. Quite light golden in colour, clear with a small white head. White grapefruit aroma, tangerine and grassy notes in support. Lovely malty character to the sweet taste alongside the grapefruity hop. It’s a very light beer as befitting the ABV. Shortish finish. Watery body, spritzy carbonation. Very enjoyable overall.

440ml can as part of a delivery from Northumbrian Gifts and drunk at home. Light reddish-brown, mostly clear with a massive loose off-white head. Earth, wood, red berry, light turps, strong iced tea in the aroma. Bittersweet taste with a lovely woody funk, gentle chalky bitterness in the rounded finish. Medium body with slightly heavy carbonation. A gorgeous bitter.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from Northumbrian Gifts and drunk at home. Very light yellow gold, clear with a quickly dissipating white head. Malty aroma, floral hop with some lemon zest. Bittersweet taste, lots of malt sweetness, light fruity bitterness in the finish. Watery body with medium carbonation. It’s clean, crisp, but just that little dull.

Really good for it's strength. As sour as some so-called sour beers. Refreshing and quaffable
