Tight white head left a creamy cover on a hazy amber coloured body. Malt & confectionery aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & soft with a sharper dry back. Stone fruit, bubble gum, sweet citrus & tropical fruit tastes. Not really West Coast but very tasty.

Can thanks to Roddy. Appearance - golden yellow and lightly cloudy. White head. Nose - orange, orange zest and mango skin. Taste - ripe mango, sweet canned orange. Palate - creamy in texture and getting towards medium bodied. A touch sweet on the finish. Overall - a little on the sweet side but that's the style.

Balanced bittersweet taste with bitterness that slowly builds up in the background. Fruity and grassy aroma, citruses, tropical, zesty. Pineapple. Grass and grains, malty background, touch of caramel. Medium lasting finish, dry, lingering bitterness. Not had.

Can - tried a couple of times, an unofficial can from March and now an official from April. Shared with Ruslan. Hazy amber body, biiiig, lasting, thick white head. Orange, citruisy notes in the aroma, light piney notes, is that a vague phenolic touch too? Vague stone fruit touch, I mean, okay. Lean taste, bitterish, some light perfumey orange, a bit chalky, but clean. Fine, okay overall, but not more. The weakest of the three we'd had that day. The April version avoided an earthy note that the March staff can had.
