Can. Hazy dirty looking beer, looks like a slightly muddy puddle! Decent pale apricot colour head. Airy palate, smooth and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Soft pale malts, a slightly milky sweetness. Soft pine and some actual hop spice. Soft ripe watery citrus. Hard to keep track of how many things are just a bit off kilter with this brew but, it comes to an overall perception, on my part anyway, that this is one screwed pooch of beer. It's not epically bad but is just so lame it's hard to fathom. Laughable!

Can at home from Beer Shop Hitchin. Awful off pour and clearly not drinkable. I'm really surprised at Cloudwater for this. Straight down the drain.

440ml can. Murky muddy brown, white head, evidently very oxidised. Aroma of muted tropical fruits. Taste is the same, no off flavours but the general hoppy fruitiness is muted, citrus, tropical, slightly sweet, low bitterness. Medium bodied.
Yeah, something not right with this can, evidently others also had the same issue looking at some pictures on the other site. Feel bad rating it low but, Cloudwater sent me a replacement can and it really wasn't that much better. Therefore, easily the worst I've had from Cloudwater, very disappointing. But also the only bad can I've had from them in ~10 years so it's a very rare miss at least.

Pours hazy milky yellow gold with a thin white cap. Blueberry, boiled sweets, loads of tropical fruit with a bitter hop finish and a hintvof malt. Nice, fresh and juicy. Delicious!
