From a 500ml can on 2/2/2020. From a 500ml can on 2/3/2020. Pours a clear medium golden with a small to medium head. The nose is lightly fruity, with herbal and grassy overtones. The taste is very sweet, with lots of biscuit malt and stone fruit, followed by a moderate herbal, piney hop bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Okay, and quaffable enough, but a bit too sweet. Would not seek out again.

Wasn't as taken as some by Balter early on, but it's been Boom Boom recently. Can, 10C. Clear orange with a white head that sits at around a cm. Aroma of mandarin, citrus blossoms, pepper, biscuit. 7+ Pretty much how it tastes. Sweetish. Clean with floaty hops and an almost ginger nut biscuit touch. Moderate bitterness at the tidy end. Pretty good but for me doesn't have quite enough presence for 7% ABV.
