Can. Gusher, with a very low carbonation level in the glass. Tropical fruityness, citrus and some pine cones and grass. Very gentle bitterness. Easy drinkable, but a bit dull. 626212 260616

Keg at Heidrun, HWY, 26/07/2025.
Clear golden topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is mellow citric zest, floral whisper, grass, pale malts.
Taste comprises orange peel, floral tones, airy malts, grass, papaya, melon.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow juicy hop bitterness.
A not unpleasant if rather basic pale.

Pours a clear gold, small white head, moderate retention. A floral, citrus and grapefruit aroma - decent punchiness. Taste again quite floral with a leafy bitterness but does have some sweet citrus, grapefruit and malt. Medium bodied, slightly dry. Decent.

[33cl can from Lowcostbeer.com] A murky straw coloured pour with a billowing white head; grainy aroma; lemony citrus taste; then nothing more.
