Drinkers Review:
Pale golden in colour it's also clear in complexion and is topped with a sudsy white head. Bubbles - the visual equivalent of refreshment - give the perception of a classic hot weather quencher. I am a fan of this Brewery for a variety of reasons , so probably mark them a little higher than others producing the same beer, that said this is one of the weaker beers. It looks ok and smells ok but just tastes a bit plain. I find this a better option than the ubiquitous New, Extra Dry or Pure Blonde, but it's certainly worse than Coopers green or red.I don't mind throwing back a few of these on a hot summers day, however, there are other much better drops produced under this label.
