[33cl can from Beer52.] A cloudy pale amber pour with a loose white head; lemony aroma; sweet tropical fruit taste with a thin body; and a touch of citrus to finish. Unexciting.

[33cl can from Beer52, brewed and canned by Full Circle.] A glossy black pour with a fast fading beige head; malty aroma with a little smoke; rather thin in the mouth with an immediate bitterness and a coffee taste; then a fruity coffee finish. Unusual.
