Undated can, drunk 8/26/22. Cloudy, pineapple juice, glowingly-bright. White head fades quickly to cover. Nose is initially disgustingly lactose-dominated. Milky pineapple, not sure I get any of the marigold or rose. Just milky lactose-pineapple. Why is the lactose here? Seems to just completely ruin the nose. Thankfully, less lactose dominated flavor, with pineapple, lactic acid and some light floral notes. Softly sweet with lingering milk and pineapple fruitiness. Tart and acidic finish with light floral notes lingering. 8/5/7/6/6 6.3/10
A4 draught, 8/20/25.
Heavily hazy, beeswax-marigold-bronze. Small, off-white head.
Not dominated by lactose as previously. It's there, but light. Bright pineapple and floral notes with juicy, citrusy hops and reasonable lactic tartness.
Juicy pineapple with a pinch of vegetal, petal-like flower and a creamy, gently sweet body. Juicy citrus, spicy Mosaic and tart pineapple. Not too much acid. Not lactose. Maybe a bit too creamy and sweet with heaily juicy tartness. Not my favorite of theirs but far better than the can I had 3 years ago. 8/7.5/7/7/7 7.3/10

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Pineapple and rose aromas. Soft with sweet pineapple, papaya and rose petals upfront turning to tart lemon and underripe mango in the dry, lasting finish.

Draught at the source: pours moderately hazy with a white head. Aroma is peachy and modestly funky. Taste is lightly sour, very peachy, with some bite at the end. Not my favourite.

Cloudy orange beer, big aery irregular yellowish head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: bit sweetish, fruity, lactose. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of artificial brett, bit dirty, unpleasant bitterness, lots of very bitter grapefruit juice. Aftertaste: more grapefruit bitterness, nice and fruity, soft bitterness, some tropical fruits.

Can thanks to William. Pours a cloudy yellow with small white head that lasts. The aroma is floral and pineapple. Slick body, juicy, pineapple, vanilla cream, light bitterness, very nice.

04/09/18. This is almost better than the glycerines and no where near as fresh, crazy! Pineapple mixes with the hoppy juicyness, mouthfeel of creamy heaven, these guys kill it!

Can, by way of a trade. 7%. Glowing gold. Super thick. Glossy topped, frothy, thick, lasting, white head. Smells like a gone off peach and mango smoothie would, I’d imagine. Taste is nicely balanced, canned fruit sweetness, and tart and tangy, soured milk bitterness. Smooth and pulpy on the palate. Bright carbonation. Tart, sour, and juicy on the finish. I ought to really dislike this beer, what with the oats and lactose, and flower petal additions, but there you go. It’s actually unputdownable.
