Can. Home Bargains. Supposed to have stopped ticking. Light haze on a pale gold. Wisp of white. Some vanilla on top of lightly sweet grain. Taste is fairly sweet up front. Gets a little dry as it goes. Light body. Short fairly dry finish.

330ml can from Home Bargains. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a very short-lived, frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is coconut and lime. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a smooth, mineral, herbal, coconut, fake sugar palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation. A gimmick beer and not one I’d buy again.

[12oz can from Home Bargains, Bracknell at 5% ABV.] A hazy blonde coloured beer with a fast fading white head; aroma of toasted coconut; fresh coconut taste; and little else.

[12oz can from Home Bargains, Bracknell.] A murky amber pour with a loose white head; aroma of malt and fresh lime; malty taste with some sharp lime juice; and a clean finish. A step up from “lager and lime”.

Can from Home Bargains, Byfleet. Aroma has vanilla, doughy malts and citrus. Hazy-opaque gold. Thin foamy translucent white head. Light-medium sour. Citrus. Vanilla edge throughout. Underlying damp malts. Does have a slight vanilla cream soda element to it. Light. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice enough.

Can from Home Bargains, Byfleet. Aroma initially hits with roasty peanuts and is soon followed by a big sweet strawberry jelly splodge. Dark. But still thin of appearance? Foamy light beige head. Less sweet than I was expecting. It is sweet but there also a bitter streak (coffee and roasted peanuts), plus berry sourness. Medium bodied. Creamy. Flat carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Pretty good without making me want to glug it down.

355ml can, drank at home on 14th October 2023. Mini-haze to the golden body, smooth white crown. Soft vanilla pod feel to this easy going Cream Ale, not enough 'oomph' for me.
