Should you try it? This beer is refreshing, zingy and bitter - a fantastic drink, definitely worth trying. For someone unsophisticated in the vocabulary of beer, this is actually a really hard one to describe accurately. It is a sensation  to drink, a bit like sucking a lemon. You can almost feel the effect of the beer on your mouth. If that sounds odd, don't worry - I haven't had one too many of these! I just cannot think of a better way to explain the unique experience of drinking this beer.

So - enjoy!
