330ml Bottle - Amber in colour. Passion fruit, lychees, grapefruit and a hint of spice in the aroma. Hoppy (but ever so slightly watery) taste with notes of mango, toffee, passion fruit and peach. Refreshing and enjoyable and whilst it’s a bit thinner than I was expecting, it doesn’t detract too much from what is a good beer and a real step in the right direction for this brewery.
