Golden in colour with a slight haze and good head retention. The nose is dominated by citrus notes, leading into biscuit and lemon peel on the palate, with a sharp, lingering bitterness to finish.

On tap at Lovster Lille. Unclear golden coloured, medium sized off-white head, candy fruity nose. Candy, fruity, light ripe tropical fruits and touch of caramel with rather sweet finish. Not fresh.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#62. ST MALO. Found this one at Riff Magnetic, a late night music bar behind the indoor market building in the walled city. Golden with a head. Easy textured but not thin. It's a juicy enough tropical brew in both aroma and taste, although more juicy than tropical.

Mild fruity and flowery aroma, hardly hoppy, medium malty, not that crisp. flavor is malty, slightly flowery hoppy, slightly grassy. lager like bitterness in the end. This is really nothing special at all, Tropical blast is quite the overstatement.

Bière pression bue au Beer Chope à Lille. Jolie couleur, bière bien houblonnée et riche en fruits tropicaux (ananas, mangue), une IPA comme je les aime ! (M)
