This naturally hazy, tropical pale ale is dry hopped with Chinook and Columbus hops and flavoured with pineapple and coconut pulp to give our take on Pina Colada. No umbrella needed. Unfined and unfiltered.

Cask @ Sutton Arms, London. Cloudy apple juice coloured with a thin head. A bit bland with its tropical notes, the coconut comes through a little better although it's not punchy enough to elevate proceedings.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Can't argue with the description in terms of aroma- definite pina colada-esque. Opaque mango amber. Thin bubbly white head. Light bitter with a count milk edge and citrus - but less cocktail like than the aroma. Light bodied. Slick. Flat. Long dry astringent finish. OK. I'm not actually finding it overly interesting. The aroma promised more than it delivers. Still, drinkable enough.

Can at home, thanks to James, 29/07/18. Hazed golden blonde with a well presented lasting off white cap. Nose is light mango, coconut shavings, toasted malts, orange peel, straw. Taste comprises mellow citric pith, light mineral bite, toasted grains, straw, lemon rind, tangerine, melon, background coconut shavings. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced hop bitterness. Ok pale ... decent enough balance ... the coconut could have made this to sweet but it's subtle enough to work well.

1/2 Pint Cask @ Cask Pub & Kitchen. Clear golden, amber huge, white head. Nose is just amazing apricot, passionfruit, guava, papaya, litchi, fruit sugar, damn. Taste is oily sweet candy papaya, fruit sugar, litchi, toffee, caramel, sweet guava, bit watery but that only makes it more drinkable, doesn’t achieve taste perfection due to that, soft carbonation. Really loved this one.
