Gallop away on fluffy clouds of pillowy oats, before skipping down a magic rainbow of berries, apricot, passionfruit, grapefruit, bright orange, tangerine, mango, and coconut, all courtesy of Simcoe, citra and sabro hops. The ultimate easy-drinking experience for true hop heads, this unicorn just made all your wishes come true.

Good pour with lasting lacing. Quite yellow in the glass and that combined with the cloudyness is something that, for obvious reasons, is slightly off putting. Anyway, i soon got over that. An initial hop kick but that disappeared into a pleasant beer.

20/XI/25 - 33cl can, shared @ Struise cheese pairing event (Gent), BB: 15/IX/26, EV01450 2:12, 5259023258L1 (2025-1322) Thanks to Rik for sharing the can!

Cloudy light beige yellow beer, creamy dense off-white head, a little stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: nice, pleasant fruitiness, then quite some sulphur, citrus, herbal touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: good bitterness up front, a bit spicy, citrus notes, grassy, some grapefruit, pleasant! Aftertaste: hoppy, grassy, bitter, pretty watery, meh, not bad, not great either.

Can from a Beer52 Father's Day four-pack that Sainsbury's were selling off cheap. Hazy yellow with a white head. Peach, grapefruit and a touch of lime. Mild bitterness in the rather watery finish. It's ok.

Brewed somewhere in the EU for Beer52. Semi-hazed yellow-gold with foamy white top. This one has a slightly perfumed citrus and mango with coconut. Has a light tangy and creamy quality but oddly watery at the same time. Pleasant enough.
