Can. Hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Smooth and slightly soft palate, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a reasonable light creamy sweetness. Savoury edged hops, slightly bitter and a little bit of hob spice. Somewhat ripe but reasonably bright citrus hops. A little citric peel bitterness on the light but crispy finish. Tidy dipa, plenty of hop character going on, but nothing that is not expected and ultimately decent but uninspiring.

Can shared out by Biervana staff, Friday 6th March 2020. Pours hazy warm gold with a white head. Lots of tropical flavour and a wonderful fresh tropical nose. Really fruity, not too sweet or overtly juicy, melon stands out most for me. Really good.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours hazy yellow-gold with a dense, frothy white head. Nice beer, has some rindy bitterness, pith, dry pale malts, piney accents. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with some assertive bitter pine needles, lemon rind, dry pale malts. Good balance and also some nice hop kick. Really solid.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours murky yellow-gold with a tight, creamy white head. The malt character is just a touch grainy. Lightly sweet overall, with a little chalky dryness, lemon rind bitterness, nips of pithy grapefruit. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, some semi-ripe lemon, dried pale malts, rindy bitterness. Not bad.
