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.

Can ordered from Prost, Chester. An not particularly attractive murky hazy-opaque treacle toffee brown. The foamy light beige head is its redeeming feature appearance-wise. Aroma is sweet with a spicy streak. Fruity caramel and rye. Slick. Grainy. Light-medium bitter. Tangy edge. Develops a sweet streak. Fruity. Caramel. Medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Delicate. Soft if flat carbonation. Lovely stuff.
