"A light and refreshing beer. A surprisingly full mouth-feel with a superior balance of malt and hop, and a rewarding fruit finish."

Bottled A still looking headless golden beer. An odd sulphuric note to the aroma which has some straw too. The taste has some orangey citrus hops lurking behind the same attributes as the aroma. Some odd things going on here.

Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Mmkay so its a mere 4percenter but surely this has been a tad underrated on here ? T’ain’t dat bad you know. Poured a darkish golden colour with a fading white head. Fragrant grassy hop aroma . Flavour was an appropriately lighty citrusy affair with a decent hop bitter finish that had a slightly mineral tang to it. Ok, but I’ll stck with the other kind of Northern Light(s) for now. Ya dig?

unclear yellow of color with a white head. An aroma of fruits, grass and weak dry notes. A flavor of frutis and hops.

500ml bottle from Cornelius Beer and Wine in Edinburgh. Bubbly white head on the top of a clear, golden body. Smell of herbal grass. Light orange fruit in flavour with brief suggestions of mild spices. Weak bitter endnotes. Shortage of taste and rather anonymous [at our hotel room 15.11.2008].

Quite nice for a Jock brew. Surprisingly yellow in colour. Sweet a tad flat and tasteless.
