Large can, 19.2 oz. Drank while waiting for the Son in Law to cook the BBQ on 9th April 2026, Laguna Hills California. Poured twice into a Guinness pint glass, bit of a gusher, clean and clear first time around, hazed light golden look on the second pour. Italian Pilsner? Yes, it's weak, watery and bland, so they got it right!

US Pint can from a Trader Joe's, poured into an Adnam's tall pint glass at my daughters in Laguna Hills on 3rd April 2026. Hazed light, but dull golden colour, white head and lacing. Tropical fruit aroma and taste, citrusy feel throughout. Didn't really take to it, might be just me?

This brew is a beautiful clear amber brown with thick light beige foam that left minimal lacing behind. Big malty aroma with fruity notes on a medium to full body. The flavor delivers more of the same but adds some notes of pine to the caramel malts.

Really smooth stuff.

This pint can came from the inventory at Half Time, I’m ready to have a taste. Globe glass ready and I pour. I see an extremely clear medium gold liquid with a pillowy head of almost white foam. I get a scent of yellow fruit, citrus and a touch of hops. I have a taste, it’s okay but not exactly there for some reason. Malt, a mild hoppiness, a touch of honey, straw and cardboard. Middle of the pack for DIPAs I’ve had through the years at best.
