Can from the source drank in my temporary Barbados back yard. Wort upfront with malt. Yeast and citrus far behind. Ouch.

Can from the source drank in my Barbados back yard after getting tired of the Friday Fish Fry party. I can’t be arsed pouring it into a glass but the aroma is grainy upfront, herbal, earthy, honey. Light moderate sweet and bitter. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Draft at the source. Yep, I purposely choose to have the strong one as part of a flight. Clear golden copper with a cream coloured head. Aroma of resinous hops, pine. Moderate sweet and above moderate bitter. Above medium bodied. Alcohol is certainly hidden but the body at least shows what it is.

5.8/10 β€” Appearance 7 Aroma 5.5 Flavor 5 Texture 7 Overall 5.5
Draft at the source. Near clear amber with a cream coloured head. Massive piney aroma, citrus, light dank notes. Lovely! The right West Coast bitterness. Good stuff. - original score when served right - 7 8 7.5 7 8

Update: revisited 2 days later. Clear Brett infection. Didn’t even bother to say anything after saying on my last visit to the manager that the lager had no carbonation and pretty much being dealt with like I was wrong. It’s a shame, as they can make good beers, but their quality control and giving and damn seems to lacking.
