From a 440ml can on 25/8/2021. Pours like guava juice - same consistency and zero head. Has a quite sharp aroma of tropical fruit and cut grass. Tastes quite odd - lots of strawberry, un-advertised guava, a bit of peach, coconut and vanilla, but no banana. Way more sour than sweet in the end, which is a bit odd given the flavours. Has a thick, creamy and almost goopy mouthfeel, with moderate but really tangy carbonation, with a slight burn at the back. Doesn't work at all for mine. Sounds much more pleasant than it actually is.

Tall can from Winerack at home. Deep copper ruby clear pour with white head. Aroma is tropical pineapple dank pine alcohol. Refreshing change from hazy everything these days. This reminds me of old favorites like Tuatara Double Trouble or 8Wired Superconductor - tropical west coast style. Taste follows with tropical dank resin, alcohol, sweet biscuit. Tingly bitter warn finish. Palate slightly rich. Very very good. And a nice change of pace.

From a 440ml can on 13/7/2021. Pours a deep deep brown with a biggish head which disappears quickly. Has an earthy, malty aroma with some pungent and roasty notes. Tastes a bit odd to be honest - a decent dark and milk chocolate base, followed by a sharp sourish bitterness featuring a good dash of fermenting berries, and a bit of burnt malt. Warming booze hits pretty hard at the back. The mouthfeel is slick, the carbonation average. Tastes like an infected, super charged Zywiec Porter with none of the smoothness. Hard to drink and bordering on unpleasant. Particularly disappointing given I have some Estonian heritage.

From a teeny tiny 250ml can on 16/5/2021 (a really good idea for big beers imho). Pours a clear reddy amber with a biggish bubbly head. Smells of dark and dried fruit, with a good whiff of booze. Tastes, of dark and dried fruit up front, with not a lot of toffee or caramel presenting. Finishes with a sharp, boozy and slightly sour bitterness. The body is surprisingly thin, the carbonation moderate. One Drop do some great stuff, but this is just a bit hot, muddled and lacking from a balance standpoint. Maybe it'll improve with age, but right now, it's pretty ordinary, and I'm a big fan of the style. Really disappointing.

From a 440ml can on 29/3/2021. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a huge nitro head. The nose is milky with lots of vanilla. Taste wise, it's
perhaps the most milkshakey beer I've downed. It's simply liquid vanilla ice cream, with a most gentle bitterness at the back. Super silky and creamy, with soft carbonation. Will be too sweet for some, but does what it sets out to do really well.

From a 440ml can on 28/3/2021. Pours a deep brown with a smallish head. Has a big and distinctive chocolate cocoa nose. No surprise that the same dominates flavour wise - medium to hight sweetness, with a mild roasty bitterness which balances it out nicely. The mouthfeel is silky but not as thick and syrupy as you'd expect from a 10 per center. Pretty straight forward but very well executed. More non-nitro please One Drop!

(Can) Drop pour of nitro gives lovely looking beer - completely opaque golden amber with huge dense white with a yellow tint head. Aroma is fairly subtle but pleasantly fruity. Very smooth mouthfeel. Medium bodied with fine nitro carbonation. Taste starts with some pretty tangy and pleasant fruitiness which carries through into mid-palate where other notes appear. There’s a burn, maybe alcohol and some saltiness. Very unusual and very nice.

Can. Orangish amber with an inch of white head. Aroma of grapefruit, herbal lemon, green mango. Sweet and a little biscuity with lots of quite punchy citrus and some lolly-like tropical notes. Firmish bitterness with some pine needles at the end. Pretty good but not memorable.

From a 440ml can on 17/2/2021. Pours a clear deep red golden with a huge nitro head. Does smell like a creamy milkshake, with lots of raspberry and vanilla. Oh lord this is sweet - a veritable dessert in a glass. More raspberry and vanilla, with some cake mix and condensed milk in the mix. There is lingering, boozy bitterness at the back which provides some counter. Still, it goes down way too easy for 11%. The mouthfeel is milky, creamy and thick, with the carbonation the usual nitro low. I can see this being divisive, as it will be way too sweet for some, but I really like it. If you dug the Vanilla Custard Pancake version, you'll probably like this as well. An extreme beer that delivers.

(Can) Pours opaque golden, like fruit juice, with a tiny loose white head. Gentle but pleasant fruity aroma with pine notes. Lovely palate. Full bodied and smooth with fine bright carbonation. Great taste which is a balance of fruit juice and hoppy bitterness. Very enjoyable.
