Can bought at FarFarOut, Southsea. Clear gold. Foamy white head. Aroma is sweet - pineapple candy and custard. A slightly tart edge. Flavourwise it's then more sour. A dry tartness. Develops a sweet streak into the finish. Light. Thin. Soft-flat carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Refreshing but a tad muted.

Can ordered from Left Field Beer. Hazy waxy pineapple yellow. Foamy white head. Aroma is dank - citrus, herbs, a vinous edge, over chunky chewy malts. Starts off with light tropical fruit before citrus and and vinous sourness appear. Booze. Hop burn. A herbal flava afterthought. Under sugary sweetness and porridge. Thick. Creamy. Soft carbonation . Long dry astringent finish. The blurb ain't wrong - despite a punchy evident ABV it also remains smooth.

Can from Farfar Out, Southsea. Pours a hazy orange. Thin foamy white head bulks up around the edges. Aroma is dominated by the lactose - custard sweetness over neutered sour fruits. Flavourwise it's more sour. Tart citrus with peripheral vinous notes. The sweetness is there but in the underbelly. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable.
