355ml can: BB 5th June 2024. Drank at home on 14th October 2023. The can gives away what's inside, it's blonde in colour and smells/tastes of coconut. That's it really!

Can from Home Bargains, Reading. Lightly hazed golden-amber with a white head. Wheaty whiff. Gets better on tasting with mandarin, orange juice and floral notes overlaying the wheat. Mild bitterness. Overall just ok.

[12oz can from Home Bargains, Reading.] A glossy black pour with a fast fading cola brown head; gentle peanut butter aroma; taste of peanut butter (thankfully not overpowering) with a thin chocolate malt body; then some sweetness and more peanut butter to finish. Better than expected.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Cola coloured brew with its strawberry jelly just about dominant in aroma and taste, making this a sweet brew, although peanut butter is still prevalent and perhaps at its best in its aftertaste.

Can from Home Bargains, Reading. Dark brown to black with a swiftly vanishing beige head. Light but prickly fizz. The roasted peanuts are quite pleasant. The chocolate is a little fake. The strawberry jelly (jelly in the British rather than the American sense) is weird and doesn't go with the other flavours. There's an odd aftertaste that I can't quite place. No, this is definitely not doing it for me. The more I drank the less I liked it.

355ml can from Home Bargains. Very dark brown in colour, with a thin, beige, head. Big aroma of peanut butter, with some strawberry sweetness coming on behind. Flavour began with chocolate fondant, then some toasted peanuts, Before another late appearance from the strawberry jam. An unusual combination of flavours, but they are balanced and the beer works. Enjoyable.

Can from Home Bargains, Byfleet. Aroma has orange juice with herbs and sweet malts. Clear amber. Foamy translucent white head. Sweet. Malty. Light herbs. And a wave of orange juice. Sugary jammy sweetness into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Slightly sticky. Long somewhat dry finish. It works Characteristics of a Wheat Ale but with a load of orange.

Can from Home Bazargains. It pours darkest brow. To black with a a thick, foamy deep tan head. The aroma is sticky, bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, loads of sticky salty peanut butter sandwiches, strawberry jam, dull coffee and peanut brittle. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, plain chocolate, cookie dough, strawberry, jammy berry, toasted nut, peanut butter sandwiches and slight charred with a toasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Works quite well tbh. Nice balance. Not too sweet or anything.

On the sweet side for a craft lager, with a good bit of corn, lemon candy, and yeast leading to a gentle floral bitterness on the finish. Could use more balance.
