One of the better of the low alc beers i had.
Coming with fresh,citrus aromas.The malt base is pretty much non-existent, a common problem for these beers.
It's also really thin-bodied.

330ml bottle, 2.8% ABV. Man, there sure is a bit of confusion 'round these parts as to the provenance of this particular brew.
This beer pours a clear, rather pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some random sea spout lace around the glass as it duly subsides.
It smells of musty, mildly dank piney and herbal green hops, soft grainy pale malt, a heady hard water flintiness, further tart citrus rind notes, and a muddled edgy table pepper spiciness. The taste is mixed piney, herbal, and grassy forest flora esters, pithy orange and white grapefruit citrus, plain grainy, slightly crackery pale and wheat malt, and a continuing chalky stripe.
The carbonation is fairly pervasive, that frothiness honing a certain edge, the body medium-light in weight, and generally smooth, in the very sense of mineral water. It finishes just off-dry, the wheatiness of the malt finding a sudden further savoury spiciness, among the lingering hop bitterness.
Definitely a summer patio sessioner for the hopheads - laid-back, light, a tad zingy, and obviously hoppy. I know adding sunshine would be superfluous to the brewer's suggestion, but that's just how I (wish I could, right now) roll.

On tap at the Brick Store Pub. Pours a pale straw color, cloudy with a slight white head and excellent lacing. Smells very grainy and somewhat dusty. Light, but with a dose of citrus and some bitterness from hops. The taste is similar, with a bit more of a bite on the back end from the hops. My problem with very low alcohol beers like this is the incomplete fermentation leaving all that dusty grain flavor. Not as bad here as some, but still... Light and crisp overall with a soft finish. pleasant enough, but somewhat insubstantial.

Draft pint at Northdown, quick review from notes.
This is the 2nd time i've had this, it's been awhile so I tried it again.
Color is a saturated yellow orange, somewhat hazy, trails of carbonation visible, compact but dense head of white foam. Lasting retention, concentric rings of lace form on the opposite side of the glass.
Aroma is herbal, hoppy but seemingly a little aged. Dried citrus peel, light yeast as it warms.
Firmly bitter, light bodied though it feels more substantial than a lager. Well hopped, dry and grassy herbals, finishes clean. Some light traces of wheat dance around also. Overall it would make an ok session beer, seems less fresh than the first time on tap a year or two ago.
