Bottle, from Hippo Beers in Glasgow. Light, refreshing, gently hoppy - this really is an extremely drinkable session ale. I’ll be stocking up on this for the summer - it’d be perfect with a barbecue on a sunny day!

prawlie (858) - Berkshire, ENGLAND - MAY 7, 2013
Half pint at Sheffield Tap. Gold with creamy head. Light citrus aroma. Nicely hopped, not overdone, citrus zest and a hint of grapefruit. Pleasant and perfectly chugable, with a bitter aftertaste.

From a cask. Babbity Bowsters, Glasgow. Lovely ale, very refreshing and flavoursome. Very hoppy with citrus notes. At 3.8% a great session ale.

simonblaine (100) - Alberta, CANADA - MAY 2, 2013
Pours cloudy light orange, sediment present. Fruity, floral and dried leaves aroma. Get a fruity and grapefruit taste. I quite enjoyed this. On a hot summers day it would be really good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPad

Osprey87 (531) - London via, WALES - APR 25, 2013
Cold bottle. Very pale yellow peachy colour like apple juice. Funnily enough it smells of apples and peaches too. Fair bit of flavour for a low ABV beer, but it’s still quite watery. The hop flavour is actually quite earthy in contrast to the fruity smell. Toned down elderflower. Sessionable, but I’ve had better session beers.

jd543 (118) - SCOTLAND - APR 8, 2013
Golden colour, ever-so-slightly cloudy, with a one finger creamy white head. Aroma is hoppy and this is followed by a fantastic hoppy/floral sweet taste. Very drinkable.

danlo (342) - Durham, ENGLAND - MAR 10, 2013
500ml bottle from BeerRitz. Clear pale yellow-straw colour, foamy white head leaving some lacing and aroma is grapefruit citrus. Taste is caramel malt, tangy grapefruit and a slight biscuity note, with a very dry lingering bitterness. Light bodied, well carbonated, quite drinkable.
