Shared 330ml bottle with minutemat at my plaice on 18th October 2023. Sharif my neighbour brought this back from Mauritius for me. Clean and clear golden body, wispy white head. Pretty bland, or a bit subtle, depending on how you are feeling. Not unpleasant, just a little underwhelming in my opinion, great 'tick' though.

Shared 330ml bottle with minutemat at my plaice on 18th October 2023. Sharif my neighbour brought this back from Mauritius for me. Opaque yellow, white crown. Pleasant coconut front, back and sides to this brew, pineapple hints too. Really enjoyed this, half sun tan lotion, half Malibu!

330ml bottle shared with blackhaddock in his beer cave. Cheers for this one. Clear gold appearance, white head. Clean breezy pale lager malt, medium to light bodied, mild flavour profile but nice enough.

330ml bottle shared with blackhaddock in his beer cave. Huge thanks for this rarity. Misty golden yellow appearance, white head. Strong coconut aroma, decent creamy coconut character with mild pineapple shades on the finish. Moderately sweet, really good.

Auf einer tropischen Insel erwartet man eigentlich keine kleine Craftbrauerei, aber diese Brauerei von Maritius belehrt mich eines besseren. Es handlet sich um ein Mitbringsel eines Kumpels, der auf Maritius und Réunion im Rahmen eines Projektes war. Dieses BIer bekommt an leicht vor Ort und ist auch recht beliebt. Geschmacklich ist es echt gut gelungen. Man schafft es ein gemütliches Lagerbier zu brauern, das kein flaches Strandbier ist, keinen zuckrigen Beigeschmack zu produzieren und ein süffiges Bierchen hinzubekommen, das auch jedem Mitteleuropäer schmeckt. Man muss es nicht extra importieren, aber es ist ein gelungenes Bier mit interessanter Herkunft.

330ml bottle [another big thanks to Marcel for this one and the whole Mauritius bundle!]. Opalescent, amber colour with average, fluffy, moderately lasting an dlacing, off-white head. Slightly floral hoppy and mellow malty aroma, light cardboard overtones. Taste is floral hoppy and mellow malty, a touch of caramel, Earl Grey tea. Watery texture, smooth, soft and silky palate, medium to fine, creamy-foamy carbonation. Well crafted, balanced - nice.

330ml bottle [courtesy of Marcel - big thanks again!]. Minimally milky, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy, strawy, pale malty aroma, a touch of silage and maize. Taste is grainy, strawy, pale malty, minimally bitter, grassy hoppy, hints of maize, silage, moss, minimally metallic overtones. Watery, minimally oily texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, soft, mildly prickly carbonation. Not the most flattering flavours, a tad monotonous - OK.
