A blonde beer packed full of exotic & bold flavours! Brewed with rye malt, and hopped with Sorachi Ace hops, then conditioned with fresh lemongrass & lime.

Bubble orange with a short head. Aroma is solvent fruit. Flavour is tropical fruit, candy, spiced fruit with an undercurrent of glue.

330ml can from M&S. Poured a hazy golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy rye malt, buttery yeast, lemon lime citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter sweet with a fresh, crisp, grainy, citrus fruit, light dry floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can from M&S, Waterloo Station. Grainy hoppy aroma. Dark gold. Frothy white head. Initial burst of bitterness before it calms down to a medium. The rye is present if not too obviously and there's a hint of citrus sweetness. Thin. Light. Fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Not too bad. A tad raw.

Bottle from Marks & Spencer, Waterloo Station, London. Very active out of the bottle, took some time to settle because of a large frothy head. Amber with a carbonation, It has a gentle tropical fruitiness in its nose, which feels understated in its taste through its rye influence. Aside from its fizz, it's quite smooth tasting in the palate.

Flaske fra Prohibition Wines, delt med skibsrederen ombord på Fridtjofen (Fjordsteam 2017): lett uklar gylden med ok skum. Deilig aroma av lime, sitrongress, mynte. Rugsyrlighet, kokos og litt kardemomme kommer i tillegg fram i smaken, som har fin fylde. Jeg får assosiasjoner til After Eight-sjokoladen. God bitterhet i ettersmaken. Frisk og meget lettdrikkelig.

Bottle shared with JMD on board Fridtjofen at Fjordsteam 03.08.17. Translucent golden. White head and lacing. Interesting, and good, aroma and taste of lemon grass, cardamom, coriander, coconut, pilsner malt and grassy hops.

BOTTLE 33 CL. Hazy amber, very small head. The aroma is pretty weird tropical fruit, herbs (dill?), crystal sugars and gummy bear combination. Similar taste, kinds fruity and malty but with something like coconut lollipops and cough syrup in it. Light roasted peanut bitterness. Weird.
