This beer had a quite substantial head, and was a fairly opaque light golden brown colour. The aroma was hoppy and crisp citric. The taste showed crisp dry smooth fruity hop flavours. This was very fresh, and had quite intense fruity and crispness.

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.
