The colour was quite light yellow amber, with a medium head, and quite strong carbonation. The aroma had fruity hops, with light bitterness. There was orange malt, and a medium bitter hop finish. This was a quite crisp dry style, with moderate fruit and bitter hop balance.

Note 1 I am not really a beer expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these beers. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2 You may not agree with my evaluation of these beers as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on freshness and intense characteristic flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
