Bottle. Very bright gold with a modest white head that does last OK. Straightforward aroma of hay, grapefruit and mandarins. And so it tastes, except there’s an unfortunate metallic tinge. Sad, dead texture. Moderate bitterness with mandarins. Poor.

500ml bottle into weizen glass (I’m being eccentric). Pale amber, soapy white head. Light carbonation. Lemon curd nose. Watery, chalky with a faint citric finish. It’s nice but I’m not getting any passionfruit.

22nd Dec 2014: 500ml bottle from Tesco, BBD 8th Aug 2015. Poured a yellow/orange coloured body with a thin white head. Nose is a floral with some citrus and tropical fruit notes. The taste less floral and more tropical fruitiness but overall a bit bland and for me uninteresting.

500ml bottle from Tesco - A clear yellow body, thin white head. Nose is a little ordinary, some citrus, a bit of tropical fruits, but it is all a bit muted. The taste is a bit better, some unripe mango in there, with a few more tropical notes. Was hoping for better, but this still isn’t a disaster.
