Can from Lidl. Pours a cloudy gold with small white head, modest retention. Floral and coconut aroma, light citric note. Taste of coconut with lemon and lime tangy hints, tea, on top of a rather basic malt profile. Medium bodied, chewy, moderate carbonation, decent drying close with long bitterness. Its ok, I was worried it was going to be flavoured with coconut extract which seemed odd for a pale. However its just hopped with Sabro and Sorachi Ace.

440ml can. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is grainy malt, coconut. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, floral, oily coconut, floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can from Lidl Supermarket, Littleborough. Hazy golden with a small head. A pretty good example of how Sorachi Ace hops can produce a coconut style flavouring, although it's not the most stated I've ever had. On the flipside it does allow a few citrus lemon flavours through from the brew's other hops.

440ml can: BB 6th July 2023. Drank at home on 28th August 2022. Mini-haze to the golden body, white head. Soft coconut aroma and taste, with a grapefruit undertone throughout; subdued sort of feel to this, needed a bigger dose of the hops to bring out their attributes more.

[44cl can from Lidl, Crowthorne.] A hazy pale amber pour with a tight white head; coconut aroma; smooth milky body with a grassy bitterness and a trace of coconut; then a rather acidic finish. Interesting idea, but poorly done.

440ml can from Lidl - Clear gold, small white head. Buttery nose, a bit floral. Coconut lurks in the taste but not very forward. Rather dull to be honest.

440ml can from Lidl. Golden in colour, with a tight, white head, and plenty of tight bubbles too. Muted aroma of floral hops with a sweet kick. Very gentle flavours of lime, coconut and white bread malts, with a trace of white pepper before a moderately bitter finish. Ok and inoffensive drinking.
