Can at home in Hackney - picked up at the London Beer Lab. Pours clear honey-gold with a lively, frothy white head. Pretty interesting stuff, quite sweet, lots of bready malts, herbal tea, a little oily vanilla, ripe orange, lightly bitter citrus peel. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet, vaguely sugary finish, more ripe citrus, herbal tea, leaves, doughy bread. It's certainly a novelty, but I can't say I would be in a rush to revisit this beer.

Can from Fresh Fields Market, Croydon. It pours clear copper with a small beige head. The aroma is quite sweet, creamy, lemonade, melon, apple, ice cream float and lemon iced tea. The is soft, sweet, toffee, caramel, American cream soda, lemonade, melon, pear, apple, bit of booze, tannin, bit of spice, wood and iced tea with a drying finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel. Fun idea, but a bit too sweet and sticky for my liking.
