500ml bottle - pours clear gold with a delicate white head that leaves lots of lace in the glass. Looks good, but the aroma is amazing. Extremely fresh, soft and citrusy hops with a little bit of grassiness underneath. Flavour is beautiful as well...lots of citrus - lemon and orange zest - grassy hops underneath, quite sweet and very refreshing. I could have drank this extremely fast if only I didn’t want to savour it. Beautiful beer. Finishes sweet and dry, just slightly bitter, with a lingering lemony aftertaste. Awesome.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle - Bitter and twisted is what I felt after trying this. Tart and fruity fizzyness that made this a tongue tingler. Yikes, I will pass on this yeasty sour sucker in the future.

Jul 19, 2008 500ml bottle.Hazy dark straw body with a small bit of creamy head. Sharp nose, citrusy particularly lemon, floral and spicy, somehow reminded of a Belgian wit from first impression. Carbonation is low, body has dense chalky grittiness about it, as if their the body had plenty of suspended yeast, giving the impression that it isn’t as lean as first suggested. Bitter orange on the body, some earthy spice and wheaty malt in the mix, finish has citric sharpness about it. Nothing like I expected, very different that’s for certain, and i’m somehow reminded of one of my homebrewed pale ales that didn’t work out that way I planned...not sure thats a good thing or not. Nice regardless.

Jul 18, 2008 Golden with a small white head. Aroma is sweet fruit and yeast with some lemon. Flavor is mildly bitter with fruit, hop, and yeast. Body is very thin. This beer might be an English Bitter rather than the style given it here. Very thin body with light hops.
