330ml bottle from the brewery via Eebria. Pours hazy gold, white head. Aroma is tropical fruit. Taste is luscious, smooth tropical fruit, mango, peach, citrus. In a blind tasting Iโ€™d believe this was a fruit beer. Exceptional.

Bottle @ Parcel Bar, Hebden Bridge. Golden-amber with a thin foamy head. Has a good tropical fruity sweetness in its aroma, but is slightly less stated in its taste. Nevertheless this is crisp and sessionable as the latter states on the label with a very mild bitterness.

Lightly hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Super light malts, trace of sweetness. Mellow hop skunk, light pine. Very mild tropical fruits, mango and peach. Light dry finish. Would have liked to try E431 by itโ€™s jacks but hey ho, drinkable if somewhat enigmatic.

330ml bottle from Alesela. Pours an orange golden colour with a foamy white head leaving some lacing. Aroma of tropical fruits, passionfruit, citrus, tangerine. Taste is malt caramel, grain, with floral tropical fruit and tangy orange citrusy hop bitterness. Oily mouthfeel, light bodied, soft carbonation, dry hoppy bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.
