4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
500ml bottle. Pours cloudy golden with a large white head and plenty of sediment. Lots of citrus flavour and full-on bitter hops. Perhaps slightly over carbonated, which is standard for Mallinson’s beers. Sharp and refreshing, and other than the excess carbonation it’s exactly the kind of beer I love.
