On tap pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice sweet pineapple citrus hops. Taste is more of the nice sweet pineapple citrus hops a little tropical touch on the end.

Can from Home Bargains, High Wycombe. Hazy yellow with a frothy white head. Sweetish from the off. Creamed pineapple, orange and lemon boiled sweets, and a herbal note (rosemary?) in the mildly bitter finish. Lacks crispness and definitely a little on the sweet side, but nevertheless I rather enjoyed this. Cracking value for money given the very low price it was being sold at in a discount shop!

Very pale yellow colour with light haze and thin soapy head. Has something of candied lemon peel. A bit too sweet overall.

Can from Home Bargains. It pours hazy yellow - gold with a decent white head. The aroma is ripe tropical fruits, pineapple chunks, zesty, tangy grapefruit, bitter orange, tinned fruit cocktail and slightly oxidised notes. The taste is fairly dry/crisp initially, bitter - sweet character, some green vibes, damp herbal, floury bread, tinned fruit cocktail, tropical vibes, pineapple, twist of citrus and some mild alcohol presence with a dry, prickly finish. Average body and carbonation. Not the freshest I hazard to guess, but it drinks fine. Ok.

Can from Home Bargains, Byfleet. Aroma has sherbert stone fruit. Underlying porridge, before candy sugarcomes through. Hazy lightish orange. Foamy translucent white head. Initial tangy stone fruit. A chalky porridge underlying element. Then develops a sugary load. Light..Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice but bland.

Can from Home Bargains, Rochdale. Hazy golden colour with a small head. Juicy aroma and tropical fruit tasting brew with a light carbonation. Its citrus is pleasant only providing a low citric bitterness in this instance.

Frontera ORD draught, 10/26/22. Moderately hazy, bright pineapple with a small, white head. Heavy, heavy ester though no raw bubblegum. Lightly tropical and moderately citric hops with supportive malts adding white bread and cracker. No resin, tons of estery fruit and lots of tropical fruit and citrus from the hops. Extremely low bitterness and a bit weak on hop character overall, but clean and reasonably attenuated.
