Can. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin malts, but quite sweet, even without the dextrose. A thin dry creamy sweetness. Hops bring a light crispy pine. Mild yellow grapefruit but a little sweet. Mild orangey citrus on the back end. Light finish. Too sweet for me, not enough hop bite to balance the malt sweetness. Very glad this was sans dextrose.

Appearance is hazy golden, with a 1-2 finger clingy foamy head. Aroma is mango, papaya, pineapple, tropical overripe fruit, peach, slight oniony hop vibe. Taste is stewed hoppy fruit, oniony hop juice, grapefruit, pineapple, orange peel, mango, tropical fruit, breakfast juice. Clingy bitter finish. Quite rich. Very good.

Tall can from Momokoko (I think thatโs the name) in Georgetown had in hotel. Hazy opaque apricot yellow pour, some sticky white lacing. Aroma is apricot, pulpy orange, alcohol, lemon peel. Nice. Taste is lemon, orange, some stone fruit and melon, alcohol burn. Palate is smooth and ever so slightly chalky on the finish. Finish is slightly prickly bitter and warm. Very nice.

Can from Hops & Crafts, Exeter. Pours hazed orange yellow with a tight white cap. Aroma: tropical bouquet, orange rind, grassy, dank. Taste: moderate sweet & light to moderate bitter, savoury with light hop burn, unripe tropical fruits, grassy, dank. Medium body with fine carbonation. Tasty, but not quite worth the hype, for me anyway.

Canned 15 06 22. Hazy yellow, frothy white head. Smells sweet, ripe tropical fruits. Dense yet soft body, little bit sticky at the end. Taste is on the sweet side, but not annoyingly so. Lovely juicy, loads of tropical ripe fruits, dank. Very nice indeed.
