| Comments: Got this one from the brewery, and it seems to have been kept hidden in the back away from the bar and public eye. Pity, as it is quite a good thirst quencher. Poured into a tallboy glass, a short dense white head of foam formed atop a hazy gold body. A lot of floaties swirled about, and I couldn’t make out whether it was yeast or orange pulp. Very clean citric aroma, oranges and pale malt. Almost organic flavours in the mouth, hit of oranges across the palate, sweet upfront, light bodied and medium-light carbonation, leafy and a little husky bitterness down the back, and finishes with a citric and lightly acidic swallow. Balanced and very light, and unlike their Cherry Ale, this could go down easily one after the other. | ||||
