440ml can as part of a delivery from ASDA and drunk at home. Light gold and hazy with a massive white head. Aroma is light grassy notes and some subtle citrus. Tastes sweet, almost a little spicy, with more heady citrus and a good bitterness in the finish. Lemon and white grapefruit rind. Some coriander and gooseberry jam in the aftertaste. Not a big fan of Galaxy but they really make this work.

Opaque creamy pale yellow appearance with creamy head. Nice pithy, citrus aroma. Again a citrusy taste. Some lime zest. Nicely bitter.

440ml can from Asda. Pale gold in colour, with a haze and small, white, head. Fruity aroma of mango and pineapple, with some citrus hops. Fairly easy drinking, with a slightly prickly edge, more fruit, a herbal edge leading to a hoppy, drying, finish. Enjoyable.

Can from ASDA Supermarket, Manchester. Hazy pale gold with a small bubbly head. Light Tropical fruity, only for the reason it's a tad watery in design, which helps in the brew not quite feeling its strength. Some piney notes.
