Was dubious about this one, as with all things Diageo related, but curiosity got the better of me and I dropped 3.30 euro on a bottle from Supervalu. First impressions were positive, light citrus taste with a tart spiciness in the background, and I could definitely see myself downing this on a sunny day. This is the best offering I've tasted from the 'Brewer's Project' so far, and would actually buy it again. Nice bottle label too!

For the same price you could get a bottle of Rustbucket...

At least they (as in Guinness) put their name on what they brew unlike a certain Cork based mega brewery that is slipping some of their beers out on dodgy brand names >:D

Rogue employees don't you know, you can't get good help these days.

It's absolutely fantastic. I usually don't repeat buy, but I bought the last 2 bottles last night in case they don't get it back in.

Don't recall you thinking that the next morning? Or, was that all the sours we were tasting?
