Shrewsbury Month Beer Exchange, Chez Sophie; 29th April 2019. Just the four of us this month, so mostly smaller offerings to share. Cheers Paolo for bringing this 440ml can (BB 10th Oct 2019) to the gathering. Cloudy pour, orange/mango colour, no head. Strange beer really, all fruit esters and flavours, no hop or malt aromas/tastes. Not my thing. Scored objectively and kindly.

440ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, April '19. Thanks Paolo for this one! Murky bright orange appearance, bubbly top. Big tonka and vanilla presence on the nose. Largely comes across as pure fruit juice in taste and appearance, pithy mandarin and mango for the most part, some noticeable tonka and vanilla. It's interesting for sure but can barely be called a beer really. Not sure I could've managed a full can of this.

Can, cloudy yellow hazy. Mango pineapple explosion on the tongue! Little to no hop burn, piney tropical fruit bomb with a hint of butterscotch on the back end. Really great beer.
