500 ml bottle. Deep honey gold color. Small bubbly white head. Light lemony, biscuit malt nose. Crisp, tart, citrus fruit malt flavor upfront. Medium bodied, slightly bitter with briney undertones. Lively carbonation on the palate. Firm malty / hoppy balance, finishing dry and spicy.

worldbeertaste (1126) - Lancashire, ENGLAND - DEC 15, 2011
Light amber with creamy lasting off-white head. Smell Fruity peach with hop and malt and come citrus. Average bitter sweet taste, some fruit, grass and a bitter hop finish. Some citrus lemon in the aftertaste. Nothing that many others haven’t done.

jercraigs (6477) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 14, 2010
2010-12-03. Lightly hazy orange amber body with a small fast fading beige head. 3+ Flavour is fairly bitter with a tangy undertone, notes of grapefruit, grapefruit seed. 6+ Aroma of sweet citrus and a hint of feet briefly, grapefruit, muted yeasty character. 6+ Average palate. Decent. A bit odd at times, I suspect this tastes slightly different closer to its homeland but it was enjoyable. Cask at Cole’s, Buffalo

mabel (5043) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 10, 2010
[3500-20101203] Cask. Little plastic lemon in the aroma. Hazy, medium orange body with quick bubbles. Fruity lemon juice flavour is fairly bitter but still manages to seem watery. Bitter medium body. Odd at first, someone else in the bar thought it was off, but it grows on you after a few sips.

Sammy (7041) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 5, 2010
Cask fest at Cole’s 2010; A nice fruity hop aroma. A light peachy colour with a whispy white head. Sourish and hoppy characteristics. Not too drinkable.
