Pale blonde with gentle carbonation and a fruity malt nose. Lemongrass flavours and a touch of hay, but didn’t pick up that it was sorachi ace as I normally do.

Tasted this in Tennent’s Bar, Glasgow in November 2008. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear straw yellow in colour with a thin white head. Golden syrup notes in the short aroma. Thin mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a strong fruit note of creamy peaches and lychees. Peppery notes detected in the hop resins, giving a dry dusty bitter aftertaste. Finish is fruity with ripe nectarines so smooth in the juicy mouth. An excellent session bitter, especially for the summer.
