Good pour and a hell of a nose. Lots of sweet fruit. The taste is all light and sweet fruit and definitely getting the peach. Not much oomph to it though. It's OK.

Can. Hazy amber beer with a cream head. Tropical fruit aroma. Tropical fruit and light spice flavor with light citrus. Medium bodied. Decent-good bitterness. Tropical fruit and light citrus linger with light yeast.

440ml can from Tesco I believe. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is peachy citrus. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a fresh, smooth, juicy, peachy, light tart, pineapple, grapefruit, light sweet vanilla palate. A bit of a supermarket gimmick beer if I’m honest. Not unpleasant but not something I’d buy again.

Can. Brewers? How obsessed are they with the Cosmos? Feckin loads! Honestly, if you are interviewing for a job as a brewer, read up and watch some YouTube and feign some interest! Anyway, on with the brew...a mild haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, a little thin, modest fine carbonation. Smooth but quiet thin pale malts, a modest and ripe thin creamy sweetness. Soft pine, cooling. Mellow rounded soft and ripe citrus. Over ripe. A little candy fruits. Airy semi dry finish. Pretty light and pretty ripe. Don't hate it, don't want to drink much of it.

Pours cloudy yellow gold with a small white foam. Aromas of light tropical fruits, mango and pineapple, citrus. A bit of lime in taste, rather juicy, slight but distinct zest bitterness. Alcohol well hidden.

Deadication beer to the Swede Anders Celsius, the physicist and astronomer who gave us the temperature scale named after him, died on this day. He also dealt in galactic matters and that's what i'm doing here in a different way. Hazy, hoppy first tropical fruit second in taste, maybe the other way around in aroma, but close on both fronts.

Can from Tesco. Murky golden body with a thick off-white head. No visible carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of tinned peach and passionfruit. Flavour of peach, orange and sponge cake. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A slightly sweet and unremarkable IPA.
