Can. Hazy orange beer, small bubbly pale peach colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, dry but bringing a decent creamy sweetness. Nice combo of pine and gin botanicals with a good backdrop of juicy floral herbal berry fruits. Mild bitterness and spice on the dry finish. Very nicely done. Good cocktail mimic but still retaining the drinkability of a beer. Going to give the credit to Alpha Delta, Brewdog - I just can't imagine them doing anything as inventive and good as this these days, which is bloody sad. Different, tasty and very drinkable.

Keg at BD Tower Hill, 11/11/22. Hazed orange topped with a white crown. Nose is big piss laden tropical fruit esters, sharp citric shreds, guava, herb, lime lead, acidic nostril tickle. Taste comprises sharp tropical fruits, lemon curd, lime zest, guave, green berry twang, vinous, balanced acidic rise, fucked over pineapple chunks. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced puckering bite. A very late non intentional Collabfest '22 mop up ... and seems I saved one of the best till last!
