look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Pours a lemon yellow hazy body with quite an impressive big white frothy head

Fruity aromas makes me think of greengrocer's shops and fruit salad chews.

Citrus bursts of intense bitterness finishing in bitter peppery yeasty spikes more like an IPA in taste but with a lager type mouthfeel.
hops being an undercurrent throughout, complex but not subtle

I can see this having it's place a very good beer indeed

The beer arrived as part of the summer case of the CAMRA beer club.

The beer poured a hazy light golden colour with not much of a head that disappeared after only seconds.

The main theme here is citrus hoppiness. The nose is dominated by it and the taste also similar.

A weak bodied beer (typical lager) with a lot of carbonation, the first bottle opened shot up like a fountain and my carpet got to taste it before I did.

However although this was not the best beer I have tried, it was very drinkable and did quench the thirst well on a hot day. Not bad for a lager, but why choose a lager when there is so much better available.
