Tasty golden ale. Full of new world hops, this has bags of tropical fruit. Light bodied, and the hops disappear. This is good, as it would be too much at a low abv.

Keg @ Inn Deep. Hazy pale yellow colour, not much head. Mild flowery fruity resin aroma. Dry citrus biscuit flavour. Bitter aftertaste. Another decent low alcohol golden ale.

Aroma: Tangerine, lime and pine.

Appearance: Hazy golden body with a medium white head that gradually fades. Average carbonation. Good lacing.

Taste: Bitter taste that reminds me of sparkling water. Light citrus and pine.

Palate: Thin body with an oily mouthfeel. Fizzy carbonation.

Overall: A good session strength beer - light, crisp and moreish. Well suited to keg.

fonefan (29292) - VestJylland, DENMARK - APR 5, 2013

Cask (gravity) @ The 18th Reading Beer and Cider Festival 2012, Reading, Berkshire England.

Clear medium yellow orange colour with a small, frothy - fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted - caramel, light hoppy, light to moderate yeasty, vomit, UK yeast. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20120503]

kwik-lime (866) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - FEB 8, 2013
Cask at Woody’s in KIngston - sadly I had one of the last ones before it went off for the night because it would have made a great session ale - well-balanced, refreshing and citrusey with good hop character.

AleTsar (1331) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - JAN 25, 2013
Cask @ Hanging Bat [230113]. Light straw, slight haze, dense white head, with good lacing. Nose of soft floral light citrus hops, light pale malt background, light mellow perfumy notes. Taste of light cereal malts, hint of violets (?), citrus and floral hops, very light pale malt background. Palate has a thin body and there is very dry finish which is much more bitter. Overall - I found the finish too dry, has a good floral hop aroma

BeerCast_Rich (1680) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - JAN 24, 2013
[cask at the Hanging Bat, Edinburgh] Slightly hazy golden beer with a thin white head. Aroma of orange, peach and lemongrass. Clearly-defined flavours, it tastes predominantly of easy citrus, with some more of the peachy, apricot. The finish is quick, but by no means thin. A great session beer [22012013]

Cask at the Euston Tap. Almost clear pale gold beer. Decent white head. Nice palate - good body for the abv and with nice fine carbonation. Fairly neutral pale malt. Decent but mellow hops - light pith, grapefruit and traces of tangerine and lemon. Whisper of grass. Finishes mild minerally crisp. Very drinkable and in great condition.

Benjii (3049) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - AUG 17, 2012
On cask at The Holyrood 9a. Pours a light golden colour with a decent white head. Aroma of passion fruit, pineapple and caramel. Similar flavours with moderate carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel. Nice and dry to finish.
