Can. Light haze on this peachy reddish beer, small pale peach colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has a good snappy minerally crispness. Does what it says on the tin. Cherry Cola but replacing most of the sugar with a good fruity tartness. Little lemon acid on the finish, and that aspect could do with reigning in a but but the bright cherry cola flavour is spot on. Refreshing.

Can delivered online from Hoptimism, drunk at home Very light yellow, almost straw, slightly hazy, little head. Light grainy, peppery note, some lemon zest in the aroma. Sweet taste, notes of white pepper and pear. Slightly drier, crisp finish with lemon in the aftertaste. Light to medium carbonation. I do like a good pilsener, and while this doesn't get near the best of them, it's much better than the bang-average pilseners put out by many otherwise decent breweries.

440ml can. Poured a slightly hazy straw colour with a short-lived fizzy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is malt, light cardboard, gluey yeast, light citrus. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, mineral, light fruity, light dry pepper spice, light woody floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

440ml can ordered from Hoptimism, drunk at home during the lockdown. Light gold, hazy with the tiniest film of white head. The aroma gives light tropical fruit, soft citrus, aggressive boozy hop. Bittersweet taste with Apple and melon notes, turning more bitter throughout the sip. Body's a little watery, but the strong carbonation hides it somewhat. It's a pretty decent drink.
