Magnus Greel		22 Jul 2016	I thought a cider had been pulled by mistake! Barman agreed it wasn't and shouldn't taste like that.

Andrew		05 May 2007	Pale gold colour with a periferal head. Dry sharp hops dominate with an earthy bite. Hint of lemon peel. My favourite of the 1648 range I think.

Ian		16 Jun 2007	Hazy gold, thin off white head. Decent hop, floral tangy citrus. Some yeast on aroma. Malts are quite juicy. Good floral hop finish which builds to a nettley citrus zing.

Andrew		08 Dec 2006	Good drying pink grapefruit hops in this excellent session beer. I was surprise to find this on as it's quite rare.

Andrew		21 Mar 2006	Fantastic. I had this 2 days ago and it was great them but even better now. The intense bitterness had subsided a bit so the grapefruit with hints of lemon came through more. I even detected a dash of strawberry. It still had a sharp bitterness especially in the finish. Great stuff
Andrew		18 Mar 2006	What a great beer. Pale yellow with a very sharp drying bitterness. Heavy hints of lemon and grapefruit. Wonderful
Brian		27 Jan 2006	Almost looks like a lager. Fresh, juicy hoppy bite. Good stuff
