330ml can from M&S Shrewsbury. Pours a misty golden yellow, good white foam atop. Aroma has mild tropical stonefruit hints. Continues to taste, light and sessionable with a decent amount of exotic fruit notes for the price point. Gentle bitterness. Ok.

Can from Marks & Spencer, Halifax. Hazy yellow-gold with a frothy head and a light carbonation. Has a mildly dirty tasting hoppiness with a hint of citrus that provides some citric activity in the palate.

Can thanks to my bro. It pours hazy golden with a thick, foamy white head. The aroma is soft and fruity, tropical vibes, fresh and clean, tangerine, kumquat, mango and fruit salad sweets. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, sharp (from the carbonation), sherbet action, refreshers, tropical fruits, mango, pithy orange citrus, tangerine, kumquat, gummy candy and some floury bread. Finish is also quite crisp and firmly dry. Medium body and fairly high, foamy carbonation. Carbonation is a big high and foamy tbh and hides a bit of the flavour. Decent drinker anyhow. Moreish.

[33cl can from M&S Camberley.] A hazy pale amber pour with a billowing white head; tropical fruit aroma; very sweet in the mouth with a tropical fruit taste and then some pear drops towards the finish.

Can picked up from M&S Foodhall, Streatham (09/12/2021) - hazy golden pour with a nice white head. Juicy tropical citrus fruity aroma and taste with notes of pineapple, red grapefruit and passionfruit, pale malty backing, piney light bitter hoppy close. Ok. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hazy Pale Ale (Vocation) on 26 Mar 2025 at 12:32 - Score: 7.
