Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 24th July 2017. Hazy gold with shallow whitish foam and scant lacing. Peachy tropical fruits aroma. Intense tropical fruits in-mouthwith peach, mango, and apricot under a citrus overtone. A marshmallow kick. Opal Fruits/FruitTella finish. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Rated as a novelty ale.

Cask at Craft Beer Co Holborn - London. Pours clear gold with a modest, foamy white head. The aroma has some ripening citrus, doughy pale bread. Light-medium sweet flavour with some white grapes, gummy melon, ripe lemon, more pale bread. Light bodied with delicate carbonation; OK condition. More gummy fruits in the finish, bready pale malts, low bitterness. Just alright overall.

Draught (Bookshop Alehouse, Southampton) - Pale golden with a white head. Coconut and pineapple dominate in the aroma and the taste. A bit artificial tasting but fun to drink, although becomes a bit sickly by the end of the glass.

Keg from Pint Shop. Light golden, not really hazy with a tiny ring of white head. Smells like coconut oil and a touch of tangerine. The coconut confuses the taste for me - it’s a bit spicy with a light sweetness followed by the hop bitterness one would expect from a pale ale- and this continues to the finish. More coconut in the aftertaste. Quite one-dimensional but after I got over the initial shock I rather liked it. Yes, I like piña coladas but not in my fucking beer. I enjoyed as a one-off but I hope this doesn’t become a ’thing’.
