Can at home picked up from Camden M&S Pour a nice clear golden orange with a lasting off white head. Aroma is mellow soft citrus hop with a little tangerine, orange skin, faint english yeast profile and hints of sweet caramel in there as well. Flavour is composed of firm base malt, little biscuity notes, with slightly pithy citrus, pine, tangerine.. A little plastic note in there as well. Palate is decent medium light bodied, frothy carbonation and a semi crisp finish. A well rounded sessionable beer. This is probably my new train beer of choice on the way home.

Can at home, 16/04/16. Clear golden amber with a well appointed egg shell white covering that retains well ... a good looking beer. Nose is light pine tingle, tangerine, straw, toasted bread, light floral hop tunes. Taste comprises orange pith, citric tinged straw, mandarin, light grapefruit jus, pine needle, bread dough, orange marmalade. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light dank edge on the hop bitterings. Solid sessionista ... loads of flavour for just 4% ABV and great that you can pick something like this up in a nationwide supermarket chain (and at railway stations) these days!

Can from Marks and Sparks, Cork [120416]
Amber, clear I think (drank straight from can walking along)
Aroma of sweet tropical fruits
Taste of soft sweet pale malts, soft tropical fruit hops, light zest
Palate - Medium carb, light body, bit creamy. Finish is more bitter.
Overall - Seemed a bit safe with the hops but decent enough - tbh would have preferred to rate this after pouring in a glass

Can from M&S Aberdeen. It pours clear amber with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, peach, mango, marmalade, pine, grass and a biscuit. The taste is crisp, bitter, orange peel, kumquat, grapefruit, biscuit, pine needles, grassy edge and pepper with a dry finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty tasty, especially for the abv.

33cl can into a Chimay chalice at home on 8th April 2016. Clear Amber body, deep white blanket on top. Hop centric in both the nose and taste, floral with a tropical fruit and citrus lean, some decent piny bitterness in the flavour as well. Nice IPA with a definite US West Coast IPA bite.

Can from Euston M&S and drunk on the train to Liverpool. Clear orange gold colour lasting white head. Tropical fruit aroma mango and passionfruit. It’s a classic pale ale blond ale session ipa whatever. Not much Adnams house yeast maybe a little character. But the fruit is lovely. Very easy drinking very laid back. Just rather a good low abv hoppy beer that has balance.

330ml can, thanks to PurpleDragons. Pours clear amber with medium white head. Aroma is fresh citrussy with a good tropical fruit contingent. Taste is smooth, clean, luscious tropical fruit, coconut, papaya, with a soft bitterness. Lovely sessionable Summer IPA. Hard to believe this is 4%.
