Bottled, 500ml, pasteurised from Tesco, Banbury. Gold with white head. Well I’m a bit of an Adnams fan too, but I don’t really get this beer. Very lagery in construction, pale malts, quite sharp, grainy, there is a faint lemony hop, but the whole thing is a little watery and bland. Not one I would look to buy again. Anyway what is carbon efficient about pasteurising a beer, why go through extra processes to kill the beer? It looks like a bit of a gimmick to me.

Jul 15, 2008 Didn’t enjoy this much, very gassy for an ale. Nicer as the pint went on and left a fairly standard golden ale. Not fantastic imo.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottled. A clear golden/copper coloured headless beer. I’m grateful to previous raters for spotting the lime jelly in this. Absolutely spot on! Some grass and tea leaves also. This might just be the most disappointing Adnams beer I’ve ever had. A bit too chewy and husky, and not enough hoppiness. Nice idea, poor execution.

Jul 8, 2008 This actually holds up quite well as a beer, and not just a concept. Inviting lemon and lime jelly aroma developing a rub of hopleaf and the faintest whiff of barnyard. Suits me fine. Clean, lemony and grassy with some nutty pale malt and maize-like softness on the end. Hops present, quenching and good. It’s a ludicrous comparison, but Westy Blond springs to mind. Prefer it to some of Adnams cask bitters. Way better than expected.

Jun 14, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear orange gold colour, with a thin white head. The aroma has a touch fruit and malt. The taste is very citrus and a bit thin.
