(Can) Pours opaque amber with big white head. Lovely fruity aroma - oranges - with pine notes. Medium body with plenty of soft carbonation. Lovely taste with a great balance between fruitiness and bitterness. There’s a lot citrus fruitiness up front and steadily a hoppy bitterness develops. Very nice.

Can from Great Grog. Hazy golden body with an off-white head that slowly fades. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of minerals, tinned orange and waxed lemon. Flavour of lemon and steel. Medium body with a smooth, foamy texture. Soft fizz. Sharp and spiky.

Can. Opaque orange with a frothy cm + of white head that's soon less than a coat. Aroma of citrus, grass, light bread. Vague palate in the hazy way with nice citrus and some tropical and grassy notes before an end that's very slightly bitter and a tad astringent. OK.

Hazy thick juice. Frozen Orange juice from concentrate that might have a bit of freezer burn

440ml can from Battle of Bull, Cheras, Malaysia. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, tropical citrus, floral hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a crisp, super fresh, juicy mango passionfruit, dry floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
