COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - June to August.
The perfect summer bitter of proven popularity. Light, bright and crisp in flavour. A refreshing thirst-quenching pint. Delicious served cool on a warm summer’s day. Distinctively different.

flowery and hoppy aroma, cloudy golden hue, hoppy and flowery character with quite a dry finish.

pours very pale yellow with a thin creamy head. nose is spicy apple. apple crumble, taste is somewhat spicy with a very light sweet flavour. a nice summer sessioner. but not much to it in terms of complexity.

detroitsteel (235) - Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 23, 2007
Pint at the Bridge House, SE1. Golden body, small head, clear. Very light, lots of hops, some lemony citrus - very dry. Malt sweetness in the finish. Has a creamy mouth feel. Very easy to drink, pleasant pint. It was hot day when I had a couple of pints of Regatta (Marathon Sunday 2007 - nothing better than having a pint watching poor folks running 26.4 miles!), and it was a hugely enjoyable pint.

bman1986 (173) - Broadstairs, Kent, ENGLAND - AUG 3, 2008
Cask at The White Swan, St Peters: Straw coloured ale. Malty with a strange cider-like flavour to it. Little hops thrown in there. Not bad, but not particularly great.

On tap at 2004 GBBF. Poured a nice clear blond with white head. Malt aroma.The flavour is bitter at firstwith malt coming through. Another unidentifiable flavour(not nasty) as well. Good mouthfeel with long finish.Quite enjoyable and in line with Adnams uncompromising standards.

this was served cloudy as the keg had been knocked, but it was still pretty tasty.

Tried at a CAMRA beer festival in Sept. A summer beer really but really refreshing and light and would be a joy to drink all year round.

Very fresh and great hops balance with green hay aroma. This one will teach a few people how to make a good brew.
