Can from Tesco. Pours murky yellow-brown with no head. Smells like fruit juice, tastes like fruit juice. Needs mair beer. Very sweet.

On draft at the Gallery, West Hampstead. Light yellow, hazy with a film of white head. Light spicy and bready yeast on the nose. Taste is bittersweet, there's the punchy saison yeast character overlain with the sweet/tart interplay of lemon curd. Light body, carbonation on the heavy side. As harrisoni has said, it's a brilliant first beer of the day.

Can from Tesco Inverurie. It pours cloudy bright orange with a small, foamy white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tropical fruit vibes, passion fruit, mango, peach, guava and fruity smoothie. The taste is crisp, dry, just a touch tart, loads of tropical fruits, passion fruit, peach, guava, tequila sunrise, zingy, bit of sherbet, orange creamsicle and a touch of minerality. Finish is dry and fruity. Lighter end of medium body and fine, spritzy carbonation. Bright, fruity and moreish. Given how bimodal the reviews, surely there has been significant batch variation? I personally rather like it. Doesn't feel artificial for sure.

[440ml can from Tesco, Warfield.] A putrid pond water coloured pour with a fast fading white head and heavy carbonation; passionfruit aroma; and a rather sharp and sour fruity taste. Not my kind of thing at all.

Keg at the Barrel Project, Bermondsey, 26/01/19. Clear golden with a well presented white covering. Nose is lemon rind, citric sherbets, grass, toasted grains. Taste comprises dusty hops, lemon peel, bitter orange, cereals, grassy, light pine, raw pineapple, sweet and sour aspects. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, crisp semi drying close spiked with dusty hop bitterness. Not bad ... reminiscent of a Siren Calypso.

Can picked up at Tesco Inverurie. It pours clear rich golden with an average white head. The aroma is quite fresh and fruit, ripe stone fruit, apricot, peach, fruit syrup, marmalade and nips of pine. The taste is firmly dry, some bitterness, apricot, nectarine, pithy citrus, slight chalkiness, bit of pine and some greenness with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Decent enough.
