My first whiff of this had me ready to pour it down the sink but it came good as I sniffed on through the pain, with banana, tang, coriander and white pepper coming through. The palate is alarmingly soapy and a little thin, but the flavour is good, with lemon, orange and coriander.

From a 330ml bottle on 18/12/2011. Pours a fairly clear yellow with a tiny head that disappears instantly. Has a moderate wit aroma of banana, spices and bubblegum, which also translates to the flavour. Let down badly by the palate, which is thin, watery and under carbonated.

Bottle. Yellow beer with a small white head that fades fast.Smells of oranges and coriander. Watery and bland. I last had one of these maybe ten years ago and it was massively overcarbonated and kind of bad-funky and metallic. I then didn’t try any of their other beers for many years, which turned out to be a mistake. But this one is poor.

Hazy straw pour. Small but persistent dense head.Expected wheat aroma with a lot of citrus, mainly lemon. Quite sweet, almost artificial. Noticeable coriander, but there’s also a vegetal aspect to it.Very similar flavours, with sweet wheat and coriander, followed by hints of orange and a pleasant light bitterness.Good light body, but could have used a bit more carbonation.

Bottled. Cloudy dark yellow with stable head. Odd aroma of licorice, oranges and oregano. Sweet and mild, with notes of vanilla. Pizza-like oregano finish.

Hazy pale yellow; pungent, herbaceous nose with some appropriate phenols and plenty of spice. Very fizzy, and has too much Band-Aid in the palate, but otherwise has a good level of spice and malt.
