440ml can from Tesco. Unclear glowing gold, large white froth atop. Sweet bubblegum tropics on the nose. Taste is super light with an extremely well balanced exotic stonefruit sweetness, no harsh alcohol, great drinkability. Very good.

Can at home, 05/06/20. Hazed orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is bitter orange, melon, grass, airy malts, grapefruit zest, hint of weed, mango. Taste comprises sweet malts, orange peel, caramel linger, grass, toasted grains, grapefruit, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced hop bitterness and a mellow boost offered. Decent fayre for the price point but not one I'd revisit if I'm honest.

Can. Nose is tropical, pineapple, mango, lilt, peppery, lemon, spice, orange juice, light straw, lemon sorbet. Taste is fruity, mango, hint of lychee, peach, lemon sherbets, fresh orange, lilt, very sweet tropical hops leading to a drying herbal not. It's really very nice and avoids being too sweet with the herbal finish.

440ml can from Tesco - Hazy dark orange body, thin head. Nose is big on the tropical, mango, Thai spices. Nice robust mouthfeel picks out lots of sweetness and fruit in the hops. Very pleasant, only downside is a little too cloying.

The taste is smooth and juicy, tangy fruit cocktail, um bungo, mango, passion fruit, tinned peach, twits of orange, splash of booze, nip of spice and some mellow green vibes with a juicy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Super fruity and hides the alcohol well. Fun stuff.
