2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Strange blue bottle. Coppery straw colored pour. Tried to force a head, but wound up with a couple white bubbles along the edges of the glass. Bubbles continue to rise up from the bottom. Huge bubbles. An oil-slick surface. A peppery malt aroma. Sugary aroma as well. A fruity sweet flavor. No bitterness. Just sweet and fruity. Sweet aftertaste. Medium-bodied. Eh.

Keg in Sole Bay Inn, Southwold. Brewery is next door so this is beautifully fresh. Clear amber, with foamy white head. Nose is lovely grapefruit, barley grain, bit of something tropical in there too. Taste is citrous, grapefruit, lemon and grain malt. Full flavoured and yet light and refreshing. Good Summer ale.

Bottle at home. Pours a light clear golden colour with very little head.
Aroma of honey and light hops - smells more like a lager than an kind of ale, but not unpleasant. Fruity sweet taste (lots of melon), dry finish. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Quite refreshing but not really my style.
