What’s better than minimal? Lots more minimalism. Thicker, creamier, with a ludicrous hop dose. An XXXPA. Chug, but less chugable.

Can direct from Mash gang. It pours hazy golden - yellow with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, green, spicy, tropical fruits, mango salsa, apricot, peach, twist of citrus and some floury bread. The taste is clean and mellow initially, plenty of orangey citrus, tangerine, fairly sweet, peach, apricot, mango salsa, touch green, nip of spice and marmalade with a drying finish. Light body and fine, prickly carbonation. I personally prefer regular chug, but this is still nice.

440ml can. Hazy golden, white head. Aroma of fresh citrus, pineapple, peach. Taste is fresh and fruity, citrus, mandarin, peach, pineapple, faint hint of chilli or mild peppery spice. Light-medium body. Outstanding NoLo beer. Tastes much fresher than Chug and the body is indeed (slightly) better, though it is neither thick nor creamy.
