Can. Beer Merchants online shop. Packaged 2nd January so 4 months old. Pushing it a bit, that. Anyhow. Very light haze on a fairly pale gold. Very slim but lasting, semi lacing white foam. Nose has clean semi sweet malts and decent ripe citrus pithy, piny notes. Not a ton else really. Taste is nicely bitter with just a light malt sweetness. Drinks fine. Bitter finish. Probably a banger fresh. But this ain’t fresh.

Can poured into an IPA glass. Cloudy gold with a thick white head. Aroma is grapefruit, pineapple, orange, mango. Initial taste has pineapple and bitter grapefruit. Fades to citrus rind and light pine. Medium body with active carbonation. Really solid stuff!

Can. Orange citrus aroma with notes of tangerine, grassy hops and wheat malt. Pours clear golden colored with a thin white head that has little retention and no lacing. Starts with orange citrus and wheat malt flavors. Finishes crisp and refreshing with tangerine and grassy hop flavors. Nice summery beer.

Tip Tap draught, 4/11/26.
Is that real strawberry? Definitely debatable. Definitely not whole fruit or the best puree character I've ever smelled, that's for sure. Smells rather sugary, waxy, with no bright acidity.
Sugary and cheap tasting with a sluggish, weird texture and strangely low acidity. It's too sweet, there's not enough tartness and the fruit doesn't seem authentic at all.

Pours milky yellow with a weak head. Aroma is loads of tropical fruit and a little bit of marshmallows. Rich and juicy mouth feel. Flavour is packed with tropical fruit with a hint of licorice. Some hop burn in the finish.
