On tap at GOAL., pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out soft piney hops, soft biscuity malt, and a touch of melon. Flavour is crisp and biting, with bitter piney, grassy hops, and a crisp biscuity malt. Finishes grassy, spicy and somewhat piney with ample bitterness. Good.

On tap at GOAL., pours a mostly clear dull golden with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of dank, piney and tropical melon-y hops dominating, with a soft biscuity malt base. Flavour is perhaps a little less tropical, with lots of dank hops, pine, some melon, and dry bisicity malt base. Bright, vibrant and tropical finish, with just a touch of residual sweetness. Good stuff, but not quite excellent.

Tap @MBCC 2024, Blue Session. Oily black, no head. Dark malty, mild roasty and jammy aroma. Sweet flavour, sweet beetroot without the earthyness, jammy sweetness.

500ml (thx, Brian!) @ Sales Force. Appearance: almost black with a beige head. Aroma: coconut with kinda wood glue notes, a bit earthy. Taste: Structures-like coconut (overtoasted probably?), harsh vanilla beans, moderately inky and roasty. Overall: lacks balance quite significantly IMHO.

Dark brown. No head. The aroma is a lot of coconut, and that's kind of what's jumping out. Body is definitely thin, especially for the style. There's still lots of coconut, which is done well. It almost makes you not notice the thinness. I can assure you this sort of beer I do not wish to pint, so may as well make it burly as fuck. There is a gap between expectation and reality here.

Poured from 473mL bottle. Very dark brown with minimal light beige head. Vanilla, toasty, feint coconut, a bit thin and feintly kind of chemically (cross between being phenolic and wood gluey). Not appreciating it much at 11.5%.
