Can at home and number 2 of the night. Not a huge amount going on. And really disappointing. Drinkable, but in the words of Tom Gilbey (brilliant on YouTube, you have to watch) it didn't tickle my testicles.

Can picked up from M&S at St Pancras Station, London. Consumed on the 13:01 to Brussels, Thursday 5th March. Cannot be certain of colour as drinking direct from the can. Light fruitiness, not sitting particularly with citrus or tropical but it's ok. It's a bit drying towards the end, bitterness disappointing. The American Pale Ale is much better. Score: 6.4

330 ml can, from M & S Food, Brighton. Brewed by Vocation Brewery for M & S. ABV is 5,5%. Hazy yellow colour, moderate white head. Aroma of citrus, mango, papaya and guava. The flavour has the same elements, moderate bitterness. Good beer.

33cl can, train beer after a Birmingham pub crawl on the 8th November 2024, drank with a Coronation Chicken sarnie. No idea what it looked like as I drank it straight from the can. It held a tropical fruit nose and taste with an orange flavoured front, semi-sweet with a drying finish.

0,33 boks fra M&S Muswell Hill, i en pause fra hagearbeidet: uklar lys gylden med fint skum som varer. Tropiske frukter, en appelsinbåt eller to kombinert med milde symptomer av granskudd gjør dette til en utmerket forfriskning i sommerheten her på Muswell Hill.

[33cl can from M&S, Bearsden.] A murky straw coloured pour with a loose white head; stone fruit aroma; rather watery in the mouth with an apricot taste; then some biscuity malts and yeast to finish. Not very inspiring.
