473ml can. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a small, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet fruity aroma dominated by pineapple with coconut and bready pale malt lurking in the background. Sweet fruity flavour again dominated by pineapple with coconut and bready pale malt in a dry, tart lemon finish. Light body with an oily texture and average to soft carbonation. Tasty and easy to drink. Would be great on a tropical beach.

473ml can shared with my wife. Pours a hazy pale straw colour with a small, short lived, fizzy, white head that fully dissipates. Mild, sweet aroma of grainy malt, lime, tangerine, yeast and light mango. Sweet flavour of grainy malt, tangerine, mango, white wine and yeast with a tart lime finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and lively carbonation. I was actually looking forward to this one, but in the end it fell short of my expectations. A little too subtle.
