Supplier: Beer52
This is a pale ale regular of theirs and is made with lager malt and Amerillo hops. They say the name comes from a code that the brewers use that refers to the grade of stainless steel, why they chose this to name their beer I don't know. It says it has been chill filtered by the brewery and I served it slightly chilled (like they suggest).

Appearance: An incredibly crystal clear golden colour with a thick and long lasting airy white head. It also has a very champagne like stream of bubbles.
Aroma: A slightly sour version of that typical hoppy aroma, mixed with a hint of soap
Flavour: A slightly flavourless profile, hints of malt on the front and then hints of sherbet hops on the back
Body: Refreshing body with a bit of a back, too fizzy though, however, the bubbles are small so it is tolerable.
Aftertaste: This hop taste perpetuates into the aftertaste along with a weak underlying sour/bitter note. After some drinking there are some floury notes along with a little bit of an astringent taste.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, good, crisp, nice and not too common flavours and refreshing to drink, but nothing special.
Price Range: Another of the monthly beer subscription at £14 (usually £24) for 8 beers, so approximately £1.75 for a 330ml bottle; great price for a summer beach beer.
Food Pairings: Barbecued Mediterranean vegetables like Aubergine and Zucchini, or maybe Barbecued lettuce with mixed herbs.
