Can at home, from HOTM online, 08/08/02026.
Watching the first game of the Martin era ... LCFC 1-0 Northampton Town HT, LC R1.
Murky orange topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is punchy tropicana, raw mango, pine resin, subtle hop spice.
Taste comprises grapefruit, dank chimes, ripe citric flesh, pine resin.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with resinous hop bitterness allied to a mellow rising boost.
Tidy kit.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a very mild viscosity and a very mild dryness. Good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, quite the creamy sweetness. Hops bring cooling pine and a fair dose of hop spice. A nice bitter edge brings a contrast to the obvious juicy peach and nectarine. Southern Cross does its black peppery lemon thing. Rakau fills in the gaps with some slightly earthy exotics. Hop spice ramping up on the finish and keeps biting. Solid and thoroughly entertaining dipa.

Love Le Ketch beers and this collab with Sudden Death delivers a great medley of citrus and stonefruit, juicy tangerine and peach, some pink grapefruit and lychee, soft oat laden dense creamy malty backbone, assertive hoppy finish. Lowly stuff.

Can picked up from Beyond Beer webshop Hamburg and consumed at home Sunday 5th July 2026 after a lovely 45-50km bike ride with Viktor and Maria Egging am See - Vilshofen - Egging am See. We're at home now cooking a Vitello Tonnato Burger with Tuna and Caper Sauce and a Black Olive Dressing, listening to Chalk Crystalpunk. Pours yolky yellow colour with a mid sized white head. Thick mouthfeel, creamy and juicy, citrus and tropical fruit combine with passion fruit battling through a slow building but solid bitterness, btw also super hoppy a tad harsh at times catching the back of the throat. I like it, despite not being a big fan of hazies there are certain breweries that do it for me and Sudden Death certainly sit in that camp. Score: 7.6

Tap at Ø. Murky golden orange body, off-white, fleeting head. Funky aroma, odd cucumber notes, bit yeasty maybe. Lean taste, low low hopburn, brown sugar, peachy touches, bitterish finish, low alcohol compared to Citra. Noooot the best.
