This one hits you straight out of the can with a strong aroma and then a taste that is packed with flavour which would suggest a beer of a higher A.B.V. To me it is more of an IPA than a Pale Ale, but that’s not a criticism. For me, it’s not as lemon citrus as the name suggests.

Nice, light, not at all limonata-ry pale ale with a name that sounds like someone from a Guy Ritchie film.

Yes, yes, yes. Sherbet in a can. That classic pale brings plenty of refreshing and zesty notes with well developed hoppy depth. Love it.

Really surprised at how lovely this is as am not usually an ale drinker. I prefer a Bacchus or Timmermans so this is a nice change. Good hoppy depth rounded with firm lemony punch! Almost grapefruit but not as bitter! Bloody lovely!!
