Co-Op Summer Pale Ale
Robinsons Family Brewers

bottled and obviously brewed exclusively for the Co-operative supermarket chain.
Pours a near perfectly clear lemon Jello coloured body with good white head.
aroma is tinny
flavour is overwhelmed by the yeast taste some trace citrus
good body though

L- Pale gold to mid-straw, clear, some rising CO2 and a 4-5mm white head, notably microscopic bubbles forming both. Most unusually 10mins later the beer is 1" lower, but the head is growing and now c10-12mm.
S- Fruity notes with a fleeting light citrus edge.

F- Very dry, contemporary hops, probably refreshing if you can tolerate this level of bitterness.
