[33cl bottle from Waitrose, Bracknell.] An opaque orange juice coloured pour with a trace of white head; mango aroma; smooth and fruity in the mouth with orange and mango flavours, but quite dry - as if the fruit is underripe; and a lingering fruity finish a touch of bitterness. Not bad.

Bottle at home from Waitrose, a clouded orange coloured pour with a relucant fading beige fizz. Aroma is subdued, salty, green fruit, pithy citrus, lemon. Flavour is composed of dry wheaty grains, pithy, some chalk, bitter lemon, green mango, citrus pith, pineapple, pinch of sea salt. Palate is dry bitty, highish carbonation. Passable.

Bottle from Waitrose. Cloudy yellow in colour, with a thin, white, head. Pineapples and grapefruits, some grainy malts, citrus hops and a dryish finish. Good.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Waitrose. Pours unclear orange with a frothy, white head. Enjoyable, if a little neutered, with subtle tangy pineapple, some chalky hops, pine needles, dried pale malts, light minerality. Light bodied with average carbonation. Relatively crisp in the finish, a further slightly dry, chalky note, lemon peel, vague pineapple, grass. So so.

Keg at the Star and Garter, Bromley. Hazy golden pour with a white head. Nose of mangoes, apricot, tangerine, pine. Flavours of mangoes, sweet citrus, lots more apricot. Nice.
