Like that holiday fling, this tin smells great, looks good in the sun and will have you trying to look it up about 10 years later. The reality is much different. It's a bit...well... Shit. Oh well. There's always next year!

Plunged Orange Pale Ale. British, 6%

Lidl bloody love a citrus-y ales don't they? The place is riddled with them. This one is slightly on the stronger side and looks pretty bog-standard; and hopes go up as this one opens with a healthy fizz. First swig is smooth and packs a bit of a punch - reminds me of sangria, actually. Bit of a wine aftertaste to it which has me experiencing flashbacks of the Faxe 10%. Blimey. Smells good though. In the blazing sun, this tin would fit in as a bit of fun - a one off to explore with your pals before tipping half of it away and going back to your Corona. Would I drink again? Worth a go, but no. Plus, I'm not a huge fan of sangria. 5/10.
