473 ml can. Pours a dull amber with light/moderate head. Aromas orange, melons, light coconut, and wet malts. Flavor of bitter coconut and mashed fruit. Can't see or feel any nitro effect. A marketing gimmick I guess..

Can from the brewery, F179, so probably canned exactly one month ago
Whoever launched this idea was probably never exposed to Boddingtons Pub Ale, that 20-25 years ago was sold in cans with a nitro widget in the can.
I followed the instructions, yet there was no creamy look effect, just a giant head above a filthy, dull, cloudy golden colour; the head is persistent.
To be noted that the can says that in this way I'll get the perfect *Stout*.
The aroma is fruity (some tropical fruit, some rotten fruit) and buttery (the coconut?). Very low carbonation, strong coconut flavour, unfortunately it reminds me of butter, some vegetable bitterness.
I know, I hate it more than it deserves.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy gold with full white head. Coconut dominant with mild mango blended with light tropical citrus and pine hops. Nice blend albeit a little gimmicky.

473mL nitro can, pours a cloudy orange with a medium, cascading white head. Aroma is loaded with desiccated coconut and mango upfront, with a touch of the piney hops underneath. Flavour is very fruity and juicy, with lots of citrus hops, accentuated by juicy mango and light coconut. The adjuncts are used tastefully, complementing the base beer nicely. Good stuff.

Tropical notes and coconut. Hazy gold with a decent white head. Nice coconut with some tropical notes. Quite solid.
