COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - Summer.
A delicious summer session beer. Dry hopped in the conditioning tank with armfuls of American Chinook hops, this beer oozes citrus flavour and aroma. It has a lovely sweetness balanced with a lingering bitter finish backed up with a late grapefruit hit.

Scopey (1659) - Croydon, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 19, 2012
Cask at The Grove, Huddersfield. It pours straw yellow, with a thick white head. The nose is mango, peach, straw and pine. The taste is zesty lemon, soap, peach, grapefruit, straw, pine, resin and grass, with a bitter-dry finish. Light body and soft carbonation. A full flavour low ABV ale.

Borresteijn (2757) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - MAY 17, 2012
50cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Slightly hazy pale golden colour, white head. Aroma of loads of citrus, grapefruits, grapes, lime, but also a bit of the famous "Burton snatch" in there (something eggy/sulphur). Flavour is light sweet, lots of sharp citrus, grapefruit bitterness, lime, lemon, hint of floral sweetness, rather bitter drying finish. When the beer warms up some grainy flavours emerge. Light bodied, but never watery. Very nice summer beer.

MaartenRF10 (519) - Wageningen, NETHERLANDS - APR 15, 2012
Tasting@De Molen
Bit hazy pale beer, white head. Hoppy aroma and taste, not very fruity. Ok body for a 3.6% beer. Very dry and bitter. Tasty for a low-alcohol beer. Bit low on body of course and bit too dry/bitter for my taste.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - APR 14, 2012
Bottle at Evening Star Brighton. Clear pale gold with thick lasting white head. Fresh hoppy aroma. Light tangerine aroma. Yep lovely tasty zesty zippy bright golden ale with plenty of hops. I bet on cask in good nick this would be outstanding. Still pretty damn good

erickok (1071) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - APR 10, 2012
Yellow haze and a bubbly, rocky head. Fresh hoppy, grass and fresh yeast. Light body, but at such a low abv this is expected and actually fairly rich. Refreshing. Very dry but pretty flavourful. Nice. (At the De Molen tasting)
