Can from Aldi Inverurie. It pours cloudy golden - yellow with a decent white head. The aroma is quite sweet upfront, intoxicating, fruit salad, green banana, orange squash, tangerine, mango, peach melba and a touch of green, dank vibes. The taste is touch dry upfront, weedy, green, touch of rawness, sweet, candy like, pic n mix, Flumps, fruit salad sweet, tangerine, pithy, zesty, slightly soapy, green banana, chalky, minerality, floury bread and a nip of peppery spice with a lingering bitter, green finale. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Pretty flavourful, but also a bit raw/chalky. Not bad.

Third of four beers on a palate taster tray tried at Cold Town below the castle in Edinburgh, tropical fruity full-bodied effort, very mildly sticky-sweet.

Given a taster by the barman at Cold Town in Edinburgh so see the nitro difference from the regular XPA I was having at the time. It's much softer, crisper, and its fruitiness heads towards pine in taste. Lesser stated in this respect
