Can from Lidl Supermarket, Salford. Deeper golden with a head. Hoppy and lots of pine, both of which hide the ale's strength very well in terms of taste, and with the brew's strength it has plenty of body. There's a hint of fruit, as if it's trying to develop but just can't release the flavour.

440ml can from Lidl: BB September 2023. Third beer in my mini-tasting session with myself, at home on 17th November 2022. Clear and clean light amber body, thin white head. Aroma of marmalade and piney resin. Taste has a fruity front, oranges being to the fore, some piney notes and a late bitterness.

440ml can from Lidl. Deep amber in colour, with a tight, white, head. Aroma of tangerine and pineapple, with a touch of citrus hop and green herb. Flavour had sweet tropical fruit, rich tea malts and led to a warming, dryish finish with a whiff of pine. Enjoyable.

Can from Lidl Inverurie. It pours clear orangey - amber with a frothy white cap. The aroma is the sweet, sappy, resinous, pine, leafy, grapefruit and tangy orange marmalade. The taste is dry, bitter, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, marmalade, leafy vibes, green, sappy, resinous, pine, light tannin, touch of toffee and a nip of peppery spice with a drying, resinous finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Straight forward west coaster. Drinks decent. No complaints.
