500ml can courtesy of my son for Christmas. Poured an unclear reddish light brown colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is toffee caramel malt. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a smooth, somewhat rich, earthy, herbal, light toffee, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Аромат в меру и цитрусовый и тропичкский одновременно, но больше мякоти в любом случае, особенно от манго и ананасов. Цвет желтый, пенка белая, пышная. Вкус хороший, тропический, сока от фруктов прям ощущается, манго и дыня. Послевкусие с цитрусовой начинкой. Ничего особо не выделяется, но вкус очень ровный. Это и плюс и минус.

Tap. Chubby Seal, Holt. Fully hazed up custard yellow. Thin dense white foam. Nose has lemon sorbet hoppage. Light creamy malts. Surprisingly and welcomingly not too sweet. Fair crisp bitterness throughout. Easy drinking overall albeit a tad thin.

Keg draught at The Ribs of Beef, Norwich. Light gold, hazy with a small white head. Big aroma. Lots of Hop but the cracking vanilla malt notes really hold it together. Sweet taste with an almost umami malt note along with the white grape and pineapple. Light velvety body, soft carbonation. Gorgeous.
