Can picked up from Sainsburys, Bicester. Oxon, consumed at home sat in the garden in the company of Isobel on a gloriously sunny day, Saturday 8th July 2017 Golden in colour with a white head, actually maybe dark gold edges to light amber. A bit stodgy, lacks crispness and bite, a touch too much caramel, fruity but not overly do, a little buttery, sweet and cloying. It’s ok but not what I had hoped for. A6 A4 T5 P3 Ov11 2.9

Can at home picked up from Tesco. A hazed golden orange coloured pour with a thin loose white head. Aroma is big sweet jammy apricot, peach melba, mango, medium sweet, Flavour is composed of semi sweet base malts, light grainy, apricot jam, peach melba, mixed tropical fruits. Maybe a little artifical. Interesting enough though. Palate is medium sweet, moderate carbonation, grainy. Decent.

330ml can from Sainsbury’s, Darlington. Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of sweet tropical fruit juice, peach, nectarine, lots of mango. Taste is biscuity malt caramel with sweet juicy tropical fruits and some hop bitterness. Light bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy finish. Quite drinkable.

Slightly hazy yellow beer, white head. Light smell of sweet, tropical fruit. The mango comes through in the flavour but on the whole it’s quite mellow. A touch of bitterness to balance it out but there’s a not a huge amount else to it and there’s not a big finish either. I’m not as down on it as that sounds though, it’s a nice, tasty, fruit pale.

Can at home in London / sourced from the Empire Express, Hackney. Pours murky orange with a frothy white head. Rich, bready malts in the nose, some ripe and jammy orange, mango, pine. Light-medium flavour, with more hearty bread, chewy melon and mango, some tangerine, white grape, mellow oily pine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Subtly resinous in the finish, with more bready pale malts, orange, mango, peach. Alright, kind of interesting, but not especially bright.
