6/10
Very artificial. Jaffa cake vibes in the nose. And then Starbucks Frappuccino caramel macchiato creamy. Thin.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a very thick, six to seven centimetre tall tan and light brown head that is large bubbled and super ugly , but fades fairly quickly without leaving anything on the sides. Aroma of crazy bright oranges, lactose, roasted malt, cream and oatmeal with a dank nose from the citrus fruit and caramelised sugars with a cloying sweetness with a good dose of oranges and roasted malt with some light touches of coffee and grain as well that seems strong in the nose. Medium-bodied; Strong rich roasted malt and caramelised sugar flavours show at first with some lactose and odd grains on the back end, but a ton of vanilla and somehow even more of the oranges and citrus fruit flavours that has an odd combination but both are strong. Aftertaste shows the oranges, lactose, vanilla, grain, coffee and earthiness with some additional sweetness from the malts that comes through as rich, but a very odd combination of flavours throughout. Overall, an odd, wierd, funky and just about working beer that has some nice enough flavours, if you like them at all, let alone together, that shows a good layer of roasted malts and caramelised sugars before the rest of the crazy notes come through. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Costco Wholesale in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 19-April-2021 for US$2,69 sampled at my house here in Washington on 22-November-2021.
