A classic for ale lovers everywhere. It’s got a nice bit of hops in the taste, but still very drinkable and delicious. A very crisp beer, and just an excellent overall beer. Treat yourself, have it in California.

330ml bottle. Pours amber with a beautiful head that doesn’t last very long. Aroma is sweetish fruity hops and taste is mostly the same with some smooth bready malts added. Mouthfeel is smooth. Overall very well balanced.

Bottle 330ml. Hazy pale amber colour, white foamy head. Hoppy aroma, some notes of spices and citrus. Taste has lots of hops and medium bitternes, some grapefruit and malts.

Bottle: poured a light amber with not much head. The aroma was sweet citrus. The flavor was smooth and light hops. Overall, still a fan favorite.
