Can. Near clear deep amber gold beer, good and richly coloured cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, mildly dry. Good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Light malts, a good but light creamy sweetness. Big floral mango, juicy but somewhat artificial tasting. Touches of guava and fair old does or lychee. All feels like adjuncts. A little hop spice on the end. Don't hate this but, at best, it's an Imperial fruit beer.

Can. Lewis and Cooper Northallerton. Ingredients don’t list mango or apricot. Just flavourings? Dunno. Anyhoo. Hazed deep orange gold. Slick and sticky off white foam stays the course. Mango smoothie on the nose. Other assorted fruits. Bit of strawberry. Blackcurrant. Smells decent. Taste is sweet up front with a punchy fresh hop bitterness. Smooth and easy drinking. Nice juicy finish. Enjoyed it. Not sure I’d neck another straight after mind.
