the wide availability of flavorful craft beer at super low abv in england is awesome, i wish america would adopt some of that, a nice session beer like this, actual session abv, not like 5.5% abv, but a beer i could truly drink all day and be fine, i love that, and this was one of my favorites in that range from our london trip. its clearer than some of the other hoppy beers in here, and the nose and taste suggest it almost has to have fruit in it, but alas i dont believe it actually does. notes of passion fruit, melon, and mango come right out of it, almost no bitterness to the hops here at all, and there is a really nice layer of mellow sweetness extending it, a nice contribution from the malt in such a light beer overall. it does lack body, and it drinks a little watery, higher carbonation would help with that, but its lightness remains a positive overall. cool mix of hops in this, i would love to know what all is in here, it drinks like a juice almost, and without all the haze and heft of the new england types. i thought the beer in here was great, especially the hoppy stuff!
