Can. Color: Hazy pale golden, white head. Aroma: Hoppy, stone fruit, tropical fruit. Taste: Hoppy, stone fruit, sweetish tropical fruit (papaya, overripe melon), some citrus fruit and hints of pine. Just below medium body, a bit thin. Just below average carbonation. Moderate sweet, light bitterness. A bit lemonade (Fanta) like. Mwah.

Cloudy, yellow with a small white head. The aroma is subtle, citrusy, soft, and nutty, with a touch of exotic fruit and a hint of pine. The taste combines semi-sweet notes, a hint of citrus, and tropical fruit salad with an unexpected spiciness on the finish. The body is medium to full, moderately saturated, juicy, and the bitterness is not very pronounced. Nice.

Can picked up from Sainsbury's, Hereford after Annasley picked us up from the station. Had this shared with Baz. 26th February 2026 around Jude and Baz's, Spond, Herefordshire whilst making Pizza, well Loz is making it I am just assisting. Pours dirty gold/yellow with a clingy white head. The nose is mostly citrus, but there is an apricot touch also. The flavour follows a similar trajectory but leaning more towards summer fruits, peaches, apricots but with a streaky citrus tang. It's a nice beer. Score 7.3
