Can: Poured a burnt copper with tan color head. Aroma is a blast of grapefruit. Taste has more grapefruit but is wet and thin overall.

Can for 40p! Nose is grapefruit, lime, sherbet, 7 up. Taste is 7 up, malty, lime, grapefruit, sweets, lychee. Mouthfeel is slick. It's suffering for being close to BBD, I am sure but not great saved by being the price of a tin of pop.

Can from Jim - cheers! Light, subdued amber with a thin white head and a light fizz. Light pine up front before cheap and slightly bitter grapefruit juice comes through, with an emphasis on the pith. Bit grubby tasting. Weird milky mouthfeel. A hint of sourness in the lasting bitter aftertaste. Not impressed, and certainly not up to the standard I'd normally expect from either Adnams or M&S.

330ml can from Marks & Spencer Gatwick, kindly shared by Leif. Steady off-white head over a mist dark golden body. Spotty lacing. Aroma of dusty hops with a citrus touch. Fresh taste of grapefruit added by some piney notes. Prolonged finish. Refreshing and easy to drink. (Hotel room, Horley 09.01.2019).

Can from M&S, Enniskillen [061117]
A3, N6, T6, P3, O12
Amber, light haze, frothy off white head
Aroma - Caramel malts, light grapefruit
Taste of soft grapefruit, dab of caramel, mainly just soft grapefruit, not that hoppy
Palate - Soft carb, medium light body, little sticky, light sweet. Finish has more grapefruit juice, soft tangy afters
Overall - Rather average for Adnams, just a simple pale ale with grapefruit juice added

Drunk from the can. A rather pleasant taste, with malt, hops and grapefruit very well balanced. The grapefruit wasn't too intrusive and added a layer of flavour and texture to the beer. This is one to have again, especially in summer.

Beavertown Trillium TKO. Queue rate. Thanks to whomever pitched up with this can. Almost clear gold - orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, reasonable carbonation. Smooth sweetish malts, semi dry and with reasonable fine carbonation. Nice light orange and grapefruit. Some peel of both. Light bitterish finish. Quite drinkable in the warm sunshine.

33cl can from M&S, Bracknell. A golden amber pour with a billowing white head; grapefruit aroma with some grains; sweet grapefruit taste with a grainy body; and a pithy citrus finish. Not as clean crisp and citrusy as I was expecting.
