Bottle. Fruity nose, pineapple, vanilla, oak, melon. Very nice nose. Deep hazy gold with lace. Very tart flavor, citrus, vanilla cream. Soft and milky but with a super tannic finish that is a bit too strong.

Nice pale gold with wispy foam. Tangy tart and crushable. This is drinking really well.

AJB Icy Lager 6% West Coast Pilsner Bright gold with. If fluffy white foam and a bright fruity hop bouquet reminiscent of a mountain IPA. The light body is ultra crisp. Really nice stuff with minty tutti-frutti flavors. I’ve been totally won over by IPLs.

Oops, I made this but then realised I have no notes. What a waste of time.

Alright. As you’d expect. Maybe a bit full on with the weird fruitiness. Not as easy drinking as the style might suggest.
