Lager-esque aroma, quite zesty and hoppy. Flavour was somewhere between a continental lager and a British golden ale, hoppy flavours as well as some citric ones. The slightest aftertaste of yeast-extract. Pretty good. MesandSim (5941), London, Greater London, England

golden orange colour with a small rocky head.
Continental pilsener aroma with hops, citrus fruits and a tiny sulphery quality coming through.
Nice full body, flavours benefit from the light carbonation.
Nice crisp clean slightly bitter finish.
Will try the bottled version soon too.
