Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Clear golden with a very thin head. Its milkshake styling is dominant in character, but its passionfruit heavy tropical fruitiness breaks through at times. It's not quite as dense a brew as this mix sounds, although it's certainly not thin or weak.

440ml can. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a short-lived, fizzy, off-white head. The aroma is roasted malt, orange, light chocolate. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a crisp, earthy, dark chocolate, juicy orange citrus palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A rather simple beer. Drinkable, but would soon become a little sickly.

Can from Home Bargains, Inverurie. It pours deepest red - brown with a dissipating khaki head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, sappy, pine needles, resinous, jammy action, re fruits, caramel and fruit cake. The taste is dryish upfront, chewy, bitter - sweet, pine needles, dry oak, pithy citrus, red fruits, pink grapefruit, jammy vibes, jam rolly polly and peppery spice with a bone dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Nice bitter, resinous finish. Not bad.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Has an extremely mild haziness to its golden colour colour. Both the white chocolate and raspberry are evident, the latter is dominant but both are very stated in this brew. As such theres a heavy ice cream raspberry ripple feel here as it's very sweet.

500ml bottle at Auntie Sue's (pre-positioned by me) on 1st November 2023. Obtained from a local Home Bargains store. Apples and cidery in nature, OK, but watered down a little.

440ml can from Home Bargains, High Wycombe. Poured a clear yellow golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is mango and passionfruit. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a smooth, mineral, juicy citrus, light tart pineapple palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Rather too sweet for me. Nice enough when shared.
