On tap at Chain House Taproom, Preston (not yet listed on RateBeer). Pours a murky lemon yellow with minimal white head and good lacing. The nose has mango with a hint of grapefruit. In the mouth there is a slight sharpness and first with floral hops, grapefruit and melon. Later on some bitterness and tropical fruits come through as well. Finish is dry and slightly sticky. Not a style of beer I like at all usually, but this isn’t bad.

200ml draught at Tromsø Mikrobryggeri. Stable white head leaving rings of lace down the glass. Hazy grey-golden body. Promising tropical nose, mango and peaches to it. Okay hop fruity taste of peaches and pineapple, lightly bread-like malt in the background. Rounded hop fruity tail. Standard version of the style, I would say. Quite alright. (Tromsø, 31.08.2023).

200ml draught at Tromsø Mikrobryggeri. Near clear late straw coloured body, filmy layer, clingy lacing. Moderate smell of grass and pale malts. Mixed taste of bread-like malts, grass, and noble hops. Ends with a malt-fruity bite, distant bitterness to it. Soft mouthfeel. Pretty okay. (Tromsø, 31.08.2023).
