Golden colour, thick white fizzy head. Somewhat hoppy nose with small hints of diacetyl. Buttery, malty, quite refreshing flavour. Slight fruity. Low bitterness in finish.

Nice golden colour, thin white head, but it lasts well, some lace. Softly hoppy nose with hints of caramel malt. Quite lightweight, could do with a bit more body, but still ok. Flavour is initially fruity with some grainy sweetness, but that mellows and then a crisp, citrus hoppiness appears, and lingers, developing into a fairly good finish. A good beer, but could do with a tad more body...good tasty brew tho!

16.9 oz bottle, best before Jan. 06. Hazy sunset orangy yellow.
Sweet fruity aroma.
Flavor is just above bland. Lightly sweet, caramel maybe fruit, with a tingly, lightly lemon drop candy finish.
It is boring, but not terrible. Due to the low abv you could probably drink several of these in a night. If given several I would, but I wouldn’t go spending any money on it.

Awesome. Very very easy to drink, great flavor and nose. Clean and crisp, I could knock back quite a few of these. The body is nice and light, and not filling.

Bottled. Clear amber coloured with a small white head. Sweet aroma of malts, caramel and fruits. Fruity flavour of caramel, fruits and hops. Hoppy finish.

NIce, I fanially could try it. Really dark, but it was not that bitter. I suspected it would be stronger in alcohol.

Pours a nice golden colour. Aroma is strangly like candy suger and slightly fruity, unexpected. Taste is good beer with a decent balance of malt and hops though a wet finish. Good ale alround, and u could session this for days.

Bottle. Yeasty malt aroma. Orange yellow color with moderate head. Sour malt and orange/cherry flavor. Moderate body. I like the fruitiness of this beer - pleasant.
