From Warners. No BB.

Pours a hazy amber. Half finger white head.

Aromas of lemons, citrus, yeast, sherbert.

Taste is very crisp and refeshing. Lemons dominate intially, then yeast comes thru and is followed by a crisp finish. And yes then the salt comes thru which is kinda wierd as the overall idea is thirst quenching then it leaves you wanting another mouthfull to get rid of the salty taste

Mouthfeel light and well carbonated.

Excellent first beer of evening.

330ml bottle purchased from Slowbeer.

Pours a very clear pale golden colour, with a bubbly head of white, that peters out very quickly, leaving the smallest, thinnest sliver around the edge. No lacing as a result, although the carbonation continues to stream pretty rapidly. Looks decent enough for what it's meant to be.

Nose is faint, with some buttery Sorachi Ace characters coming through along with a mildly herbal "generic hop" overtone. A little citrus as well, but it's ephemeral. Pleasant enough, without being very powerful or exciting.

Taste is similar: the Sorachi Ace is noticeable here (at least, I assume it's SA—it sure tastes like it). Clean, buttery, lemony characters with a mild crispness on the end to dry it out. Body is extremely light and the carbonation is high. Minimal malt, which is pretty much what you want.

Overall, very drinkable and refreshing, and it does something a little bit interesting with the light, easy-drinking summer ale. Nice stuff.

2.88/5  rDev -16.5%
look: 2.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 2 | overall: 3

Pours hazy amber with a small head.
Nose shows wheat, citrus, floral perfume-like notes and herbal characters. A bit... weird.
Flavours are equally unusual. Lemon, floral notes, light malt. The salt isn't over but certainly contributes to the beer's unique profile.
Body seems to be on the watery side, while the carbonation is much too high.
Not really my kind of beer.

Another new release from Temple and on the back is states"A light and refreshing beer with a soft malt character complemented by the fresh hop aroma of citrus and summer fruits and the addition of an ancient sea salt" and it pours a hazy apricot hue which leaves a wispy one finger head and a rim of lacing,the smell is peaches,nectarines,sherbet and light citrus,the mouthfeel is just under medium bodied and the taste is rather fruity like stated with hints of passionfruit,peaches,nectarines,lemon sherbet and finished with a pleasant grassy hop dryness which leaves you wanting another sip probably due to the Sea Salt added and overall it is what it says it is a nice enough drop that quenches your thirst and at its low ABV a good one in between your bike ride cheers.
