Can. Less than clear amber with a cm+ of white head. 6+ Aroma of kumquat, some berries, caramel, bread. Quite sweet with berries and vague citrus before resin and bitterness creep in. A bit sweet and lacks focus, but OK.

On tap at St. Augustine’s, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some doughy malt and lightly spicy Belgian yeast. Flavour has spicy Belgian yeast, a touch of white pepper, a touch of phenolic character (not the burnt rubber character), doughy notes, and medium bitterness. Finishes spicy, a bit too sweet an estery, and fairly bitter. Decent.

473ml can. Pours a hazy orange gold with lots of floaties and a large, foamy, short lived, off-white head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, raspberry, blackberry, white wine and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, lime, raspberry, mango and white wine in a tart, boozy finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Sweet and artificial. The original was much better.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold yellow with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy pale malt, lemon and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, grapefruit peel and light piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Crushable, but too subtle for me.
