Do you hear the ocean whispering “Ipanema… Copacabana… Bossa nova”? Do you feel the whirlpool of malty breeze and fruity bitterness of citrus, apricots, peaches? Light, airy, playful, unexpected and creative as old and famous jazz standard, this beer is a moody drink for improvisers. Well, but our life is a jolly improvisation.

Almost clear gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light dry pale malts, mildly sweet. Hops are pine and a little citrus peel and pith. Light dry finish. Pretty serviceable but feels very constrained by its West Coast nature.

1st March 2025: 330ml can @ Belgian Beer Geeks Winter Gathering. Not quite as old school in feel as before, but still quite light and seshy.
21st August 2022: 330ml bottle. Clear gold, verging on orange, with a good white head. Piney caramel apricot nose, continuing to taste forming a good pre-craft IPA feel, piney, gently resinous with a good citric hop bitterness. Nice.

2/7/2022. Bottle shared at fonefan tasting. Pours hazy dark golden with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of biscuit, caramel, bread, herb, grass, veg. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Slightly creamy. Pretty decent.

Clear and golden with a fluffy white head and a piney aroma. Big resinous bitterness up front with light malt and citrus notes underneath and a long, dry bitter finish
