Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, apricot, orange, mango and light piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, lime, peach, apricot, pear and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with a slightly creamy, oily texture and average carbonation. Juicy and refreshing.

473ml can. Pours an opaque black with a small, creamy, short lived, beige head that laces nicely. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, caramel, earth and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, vanilla, dark chocolate and oats in a dry, bitter coffee finish. Medium body with a slightly creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Sweet, but not really getting any Irish cream. Could use a little more body, but still enjoyable.

473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Tart fruity aroma of grainy wheat malt, lemon and juniper. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy wheat malt, lemon and orange peel in a dry, tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Not terrible. It's refreshing and crushable, just one dimensional. The lemon overpowers everything else. More of a lemon sour than anything else.
