Third of a pint at the Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival on 25th September 2025. Clean and clear golden body, white affair on top. Nice hoppy feel to this one, fruity but not on the citrus road, some good malt action in there too. Respect!

Can at The Vine, Cheltenham, tasted from the can my Dad was drinking. Slightly hazy pale gold, white head. Aroma of tropical and citrus fruits. Taste is the same, light sweet malts with tropical and citrus fruit notes. Light-medium bodied.
I think lactose is an unnecessary addition to an AF beer, it doesn't improve the body enough to warrant excluding it from lactose-intolerant folks so why even bother? Otherwise, a fairly decent (now standard?) AF offering.
