440ml can from Asda. Hazy gold in colour, with a slight, bubbly, white head. Grassy hop, pine, pineapple and guava fruit aroma. Flavour had more tropical fruit, a touch of green herb, white pepper, light maltiness, giving way to a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Taste is fairly sweet with a moderate green bitterness. Drinks light and airy. Foamy carbonation. Moderate bitterness to finish. Can’t really knock it at £2.25 a pop.

Can from ASDA Supermarket, Manchester. Hazy golden-yellow with a frothy-bubbly head. The Simcoe hop provides plenty of tropical fruitiness in both aroma and taste, whilst remaining quite a hoppy brew in design.
