Can at home from Tesco. A light hazed mid orange coloured pour with a fine white head. Aroma is chewy orange rind, mango, midget gems, some alcohol and bready grains. Flavour is composed of semi sweet bready grains, mixed citrus, orange and tangerine, some melon, dry grains, some pencil wood. Palate is dry and frothy, little chalky in the finish, slight alcohol bite. Not bad.

Can. Pours misty gold, good white topping. Aroma has some assorted exotic juice, light sour. There is a certain juiciness to its standard pale character, light exotics, soft sour, but just something amiss, artificial perhaps. Ok, but not worth a re-visit.

440ml Can - Pours a cloudy dull yellow orange colour with a mostly lasting average sized tight foamy white head. Aroma is tropical fruit, the passionfruit dominates but with some other sweet fruit present. A tart fruit taste, passionfruit and sour apple flavours; quite salty and with a dry sourness in the finish.

440ml can. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, lemon lime citrus hop. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter with a crisp, malt, light soapy, lemon citrus palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can from Tesco. Hazy golden body with a thin white head that fades. Steady carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, rose petals and lemonade. Flavour of passionfruit and lime sherbet with a sour finish. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. A strange beer, not at all what I was expecting, but not quite as bad as previous reviews suggest.

Can from Tesco. Nose is yeasty, mineral, troubling hints of sulphur, straw, guava. Taste is green apples, sour, wheat, lemon, grapefruit, salt, slightly gose like. Thin mouthfeel. Very surprised when it was sour out of the can, certainly not what was expected from the packaging which I took to be an American Pale. In taste it's far more gose like - feels very off style. It's pretty poor and the sulphur notes are worrying.
