Clear, light amber in colour with a dense looking head. Mild generic malt aromas with a touch of caramel sweetness. Light flavours, with malty caramel and yeast characters and a lager-like quality in the finish. Crisp, but thin on the palate.

April 2008: Brown 500ml bottle, long life left, so was fresh when tasted. Poured into a Duvel glass, well why not? Good amber, dark golden colour, clear and clean looking. Not as bright or light as the name might suggest. Large bubbley head that lasted a fair while. It looked good in the Duvel glass, I may well use it more often with British beers if it shows them off as good as this. Sour lemon and lime aroma, some hops as well, but not a huge aroma overall. The taste follows the smell very closely, citrus notes. Fairly dry and refreshing, a good mix of interesting flavours. At 4.3% this is a well balanced, easy drinking bitter. A bit watery maybe, but a fine session beer non-the-less, which I would like to try on cask if ever I come across it.

It’s warm golden with a creamy head, and the mild aroma has notes of malt, light hay and fruits. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of butterscotch, mild fruits and citrus, straw, and the finish is dry with light notes of citrus.
