Orange/golden beer with a citrus and hopped aroma. The flavour has a slight citric bitterness with a dry finish. Overall a genuinely good beer.

Pale orange and slightly hazy. Rich perfumy aroma of grapefruit and apples. Sweet and light bodied. Rounded up front, but with rugged flowery bitter finish.
