Draft pint at the brewpub (sat outside) overlooking Lime Bay on 12th August 2025. Perfectly adequate Pilsner, clean and clear golden body, white affair on top. Crisp refreshing and hop sharp.

650ml bottle from mgermani, thanks.
popped the cap, and there was ZERO noise, not a good sign. aroma is wet cardboard, and sour red wine, pretty much a big nose of red wine vinegar. Flavour is sour, syrupy, and vinegary. This bottle has to be off, there is no way they intended it to tatse like this. It actually tastes like a flemish sour ale now. still i couldnt dinrk it, the vinegar flavour was way too much to stand

650ml bomber from mgermani! thanks! Clear golden color with a thin, amber tint. Big nose of citrus, and grapefruit, wow this smell fresh. Flavour is quite hoppy, good bitterness, and a nice maltiness also. Very refreshing beer, i really enjoyed it!

473 ml can. Pours amber with full head. Aromas of fruity esters, a bit of farmyard, quince, mashed stoned fruit and bready malts. Flavors follow same with some additional oak. Can't really get much wine barrel effects. More of a farmhouse ale. Quite nice.

500mL bottle. Pours yellowish with almost no head. Aroma is sour. Flavour is slightly sour, a bit of mango. Not getting any rum or coconut. Not really sure why this exists. Less horrific than I was expecting, given the proposed flavour combination, but somehow had almost no distinctive flavour.
