Draught keg at the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester city centre. Mid- to dark gold with a muddy haziness. A thin uneven film of off-white head. Sharp aroma of pineapple and sour mango notes. Taste is very tart and the kiwi is wonderfully overwhelming. Pineapple and spicy pepper notes as well. Thick vody with softer carbonation. Very special stuff.

Full bod, lightish carbo. High sweet, sugary, med-light bitter. Lots of toffeeish marshmallows, milk chocolate. Lack some balancing though, simple, too sweet. Meh.

440ml can at Benny’s Place, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Poured d a murky golden colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is juicy lemon lime, light coffee. The flavour is moderate sweet and sour, with a light, crisp, tart, zesty lemon, light herbal, spicy coffee palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. A gimmick “beer”. Tasted like a radler shandy with some minor hints of coffee.
