275ml bottle from Morrisons. Well I’m clearly not the traget demographic for this - I like my beers to taste of beer! It’s almost colourless with a white head - looking much like Cream Soda; there’s a whiff of citrusy hops; and a watery, sweet citrus flavour; with some cardboard to finish. Best avoided.

275ml bottle, sampled at home.
A vague skunky aroma is about all you can say for this beer, it is so bland it is unreal. At a big push & after really putting your nose in the beer you can just about detect some sort of mild citrus like smell too.
After a very aggressive pour the beer settles incredibly clear (as the name suggests) and looks like soda water. It is topped by a bubbly, pinky width head.
Very bland & tastes almost like carbonated water with a hint of sweetness, this is followed up by a citrus & lemon flavour at the end. Not terrible to taste but seriously lacking flavour for a beer. No sign of any bitterness in this one but a bit of a skunky taste in the finish.
Very light bodied & bland, almost like drinking water & as such it is incredibly smooth but not in a good way.

Whoever let this beer come onto the market needs their head examined, it tastes so bland & flavourless that you’d be as well having a water.
