440 ml can, from Left Field Beer, England. ABV is 6%. Hazy yellow colour, moderate white head. Aroma of citrus, yellow plums and pineapple. Flavour with the same elements, moderately sweet, hints of pine needles. Quite nice.

1st September 2024 Can. Believe this is Nelson Sauvin version. Rating it here as I have no fucken clue why it would be another version. A mildly hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Soft malts, a light creamy sweetness. Light crisp pine. Reasonably juicy citrus, mild tropical fruits, perhaps a little Nelson grapey tang. Light and semi dry finish, mild hop spice. Can't believe there is not Citra in here but not mentioned by the brewery. Good brew.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a murky yellow golden colour with a big, lasting foamy white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is grainy malt, grassy, nettle hops. The flavour is over moderate bitter, with a crisp, fresh, grass bucket, nettle, light herbal, dry, big hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Great beer, but I can’t help but thinking that Beak are becoming a little too extreme with their recipes these days.

Tap at Taphouse, Copenhagen 26/01/2024 Bright juicy fruity aroma and taste delivering a cross section of tropical and citrus fruity action, sweet malty support, assertive hoppy finish. Great stuff from these guys as always.

440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Crocheted lacing from an airy, pearl white head. Opaque grey-yellow body. Quite promising smell of pineapple and grapefruit. Rather unbalanced flavour character of honeyed citrus, dough, and wheat. Bone dry ending, rather sweet fruity. Soft on the swallow. Quite possible to drink, but fails to impress. (Tromsø, 25.08.2022).
