473ml can. Pours a cloudy gold yellow with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves sticky curtains of soapy lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, tangerine zest, peach, clementine orange and lychee. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, fuzzy peach candy, guava, pineapple, mango, lychee, honeydew melon and clementine orange in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture and soft carbonation. Juicy and abv is well hidden making this dangerously drinkable.

Poured from the tap @ The Drake. Murky pale yellow with small white head. Chalky yeast with feint coconut and pineapple. The fruitiness is nice, but ruined by the yeast soup.
