Can from HOTM. Pale gold with a light to middling fizz. Nice deep, rich honey up front with floral and caramel overtones - not too sweet and rather satisfying. Unfortunately it's then followed by a less pleasant dusty vegetable note, which I assume is from the prickly pear; I can't remember what prickly pear tasted like the one time I tried it. Maybe some cucumber, then there's an unexpected mild bitterness at the end, which balances out the honey quite nicely. It's a little odd, yet it grew on me and I rather enjoyed it by the end. However I couldn't help feeling that the prickly pear did it no favours at all.
