Can. Yellow/orange, and guess what? Hazy. Big citrus nose with passionfruit. Appropriate chewiness. Reasonably balanced with enough hoppiness to not be a complete juice boom. Hoped for something more standout however.

Canned 4 Feb - good logistics to travel ~1700km and spend a couple of days in my fridge. Hazy dull orange with a white head that fades but never disappears. Fruity aroma of pineapple, mango, orange, tinned passionfruit. Hints of pine stop it from smelling like tropical fruit cup. Has a soft juicy texture to it with modest carbonation. Pretty much all fruit really with a moderate to low bitterness and a little astringency that work well to close things off rather than feature as a finish. Good.

He said 'Captain', I said 'Wot'! 375ml can into shaker. Pours a hazy golden brown with a bubbly white head which quickly dissipates to a collar. Aroma of tropical fruit. Thin body. Tastes of tropical fruit with some balancing bitterness and touches of cashew in the finish. Designed to be easy-drinking and it certainly is.

Lots of hype surrounding this beer, sold out at Lugarno Cellars the day it arrived, guys at my work couldn't buy it anywhere, limited release for a limited time, etc., etc. Then suddenly.....it reappears. Into a pint glass. Well, it looks a treat. Shiny golden beer with medium fine bubbles and a large white fluffy head. Nose is fruit salad with pine needles. Viscous mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Taste is bitter, finish is earthy and dry with late pepper and warming alcohol. A bit unbalanced, the fruit in the aroma doesn't really appear in the taste. It's good but not great.
