Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours cloudy pale orange with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tangy, big tropical vibes, passion fruit, mango, peach, papaya, nectarine, touch of sherbet, touch green, weedy and piney.

Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy deep golden body with a few flecks beneath a white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of menthol, fresh apricot and peach. Flavour of nectarine and pale malt. Medium body with a smoother texture. Soft fizz. Nectaron is such a tasty hop, Iād love to see it used more frequently.
