500ml bottle. Pours dark brown. Coconut, biscuit, toffee, bit of an earthy liquorice thing. Medium body. Surprisingly light and easy to drink given the abv and adjuncts.

330ml bottle. Pours lurid green. Looks like creme de menthe gone wild. Literally the most bizarre coloured beer I've ever seen. Kiwifruit, soap, pear, lemon, cream, bit of a lime thing, synthetic lime. Thick creamy body. Bizarre. Really hard to review. Utterly bizarre.

440ml can. Pours bright orange gold with a fluffy head. Pineapple, honey, peach, ice cream, oat biscuits, really very sweet, mango. Big full body. The balance is maybe tilted a bit far to sweet to make it particularly easy to drink, but it is very tasty and I am definitely enjoying it. Fun.
