Draft at the brewery. Poured a clear golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is big spicy coffee. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, spicy coffee, sweet vanilla palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. It’s nice and the commercial description really talks the beer up well, but at the end of the day it’s just coffee and sugar.

Keg @ Tap and Can. Misty golden appearance, thin ring of foam circling the glass. Aroma of rhubarb & custard sweets, continuing to taste with more defined strawberry coming through, good sour edge, has a definite sweet-shop feel to it. Tropical juicy sweet moments, but mango and passionfruit seem to take a back seat to the strawberry element. Ok.
