Enjoyed on tap at the Frontera at Ohare Airport. Pretty straight forward, no frills, tastes like something I’d have on a beach which is super ironic because I’ll be doing that soon!

Can from Beer 52 – drunk at home. Pours a cloudy pale lemon, with a vigorous frothy white head. Sweet lemon and lime in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy, with very little bitterness. Some mango and tropical fruits in the flavour, and laterv on some lemon too. Slight bitter lemon in the finish. Pretty bland to say the least.
