440ml can: BB 31st Jun 2021. Drank at home on 29th Jan 2021. Mini-haze in the golden body, decent head that tried to hang around. Light citrus nose giving way to a caramel, malty aroma; taste also dominated by maltiness, not too sure where the 'Hopster' went. Actually I liked it.

Can from local Home Bargains. Has a slight aroma of hoppiness mixed with detergent. Pours a very pale straw with a sizeable but very transient white head. In the mouth fairly high carbonation can be detected, though otherwise it is fairly watery. Some fruity hops and traces of nuts. Slight bitterness in the finish. Not bad โ plenty of bite for its strength.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Pale golden with a small head and a fair carbonation, which is probably more noticeable in the palate than the glass. Nicely light if you prefer low alcohol brews, this is pleasant enough in that respect but there's not a lot of flavour, and this is in spite of the fact its hop influence is fairly evident.

Can from local Home Bargains. Thereโs lemon and pineapple in the aroma here, but not a huge amount. Pours a bright yellow with a healthy white head and some lacing. Some bitterness at first in the mouth, but then tropical fruits take over. Pineapple, lime and mango, with a sweet and juicy texture. Bitterness comes back in the finish, but itโs still mainly fruity. Pleasant enough, but not wildly exciting.

330ml cheap can from Home Bargains. Pale gold, thin white head, some retention. Aroma of floral peach, lemon. Taste is light floral, peachy, citrus, pale malts, slightly too sweet. Light bodied but good carbonation and quite refreshing. Nothing special but decent for what it is.
