On draught, this one goes by the name of "Grizzly" because its based on an American honey beer recipe! A pale golden yellow coloured beer with a thickish white head. Mild citrus fruit nose, grapefruit and orange with a hint of spice. A dry taste, plenty of citrusy hop flavours, plus a buttery malt flavour that balances the finish. (Cask - The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk).

Bottle at Chris_o’s. A blonde, fruity beer with a good dose of hops. Good but nothing special.

Bottle. Golden with lively carbonation. Aromas are crisp hops and citrus with yeast and hints of sulphur. Flavours are mellow citrus with pineapple. Fairly sweet with spritzy yeast. Pretty refreshing.

Bottle, at London Shindig, August 2007. Hazy straw colour. Slightly sharp, yeasty aroma. Light bitterness on the palate, with plenty of citrus. Sharp tangy mouthfeel, with a light body. Not bad. Might have suffered from being tasted directly after the Arcadia Cocoa Loco. Might try this one again if I get a chance.
