Keg at From Beer To Eternity, Havant. Hazy waxy yellow woth a foamy white head l. Aroma is punchy - herbs and resin with underlying malta. Flavourwise it's similar with added spice. Thick. Oily. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Oh yeah..

Can bought at FarFarOut, Southsea. Dark and glossy. A cola tinge. Foamy tan head is short-lived. Aroma has creamy chocolate with a coffee and berry edge. Flavourwise it's got an initial sour streak which is then submerged in tangy sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Too sweet for me to want to drink more.

Can at home, shared with James, 15th March 2026. Pours a hazy yellow. Aroma is tropical fruits and taste is sweet, mangos and citrus. Nice, but I found it on the sweet side

500ml can. Murky golden with a creamy white head. Aroma of ripe peaches, papaya, dank fumes. Taste of ripe juicy peaches, apricot, papaya, dank herbal notes and a bit of citrus. Full bodied. Quality, best Universe beer since Citra for me.

Can bought at FarFarOut. Looks a pale lightest yellow milkshake. A few bubbles froth on top. Aroma has a sweetness like condensed milk with light pineapple. A tad sour. Flavourwise it's kinda odd but in a good way. Again, sweet and milky with light more peripheral pineapple including a hint of sourness. Thick and creamy. A light fizz of carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice but just nice.
