Can from its namesake establishment. Hazy pale yellow. Thick foamy white head. Aroma has fruit and porridge sweetness with a sour vinous and herbal edge. Flavourwise there's an initial bitterness with a sour edge. Develops a sweet porridge, fruit and coconut streak into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable.
