0.44 l can shared with Marko. Clear golden to amber, medium frothy white head. Aroma is fresh strawberry, some strawberry smoothie and some banana smoothie, quite natural, except for the hints of perfume here and there. Smooth, sweet, not terrible but too sugary. Flavour is leaning to fresh fruit and then gives out to PEZ candy. Medium body. Finishes sweet.

0.44l can, thx Hrabren! Lightly hazy full golden body, fleeting whit head. The aroma is... errr... acetaldehyde, sour peach, floral hoppy notes over sweet caramelly maltiness. Smooth flat taste, grainy maltiness, bit floral, mildly tart, trace phenolic, bitterish finish. Mleh.

Can, huge thx Hrabren for sharing. Lightly hazy golden body, off-white tiny head. Malty, bit floral aroma, no juniper, weirdly. Lemony, malty taste, bit minerally, clean, but... why? Sourish from the lemon, bitterish finish. Tastes about as gin-tonicish as whiskey cola does. Not... terrible... but man is this useless. The epytome of Garden's turn towards mediocrity...And I cannot express how much I hate to write that... A beer that's worse than the sum of its parts.

Pours clear dark golden color with one finger of frothy white head, good retention. Hoppy aroma. Caramelly, fruity, citrusy, nice hoppy and dry finish. Classic garden Pale Ale...

440ml can, thx Hrabren. Black body, no head in my glass, some in Hrabren's glass, beige. Sweet Panadon cough syrup aroma.... if it's banana it's way past recognition. Smooth taste, more Panadon caramelly cough syrup, creamy, nah, there's some old banana but... blargh. Bland. Not what's advertised. Garden's worst flavored stout yet....

Can, 0.44l. Cloudy golden pour, three finger soapy white head, short lasting, minimal lacing on the glass. Sour on the nose, strong lemon notes, light grassy, floral.

Light body, medium carbonation, fizzy. Average mouthfeel and texture, lightweight, prickly, slight stickiness to it. Strong sour taste, tart, mild sweetness. Lemons in the aroma, lots of lemons. Gin & tonic? Not so much. Mild juniper berries but quite overpowered by lemon. Some yeasty notes, tart. Medium lasting finish, quite dry, tart.

Good but I kinda expected something a bit more special.

Can, 0.44l. Hazy copper pour, two finger frothy off-white head, short lasting, solid lacing on the glass. Herbal and grassy nose, ripe tropical notes, floral, light sugary candy in the background.

Medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft, chewy, silky. Easily drinkable. Nicely balanced aroma, sweet with mild bitterness. Aroma of malt, candy, ripe tropical fruits. Citrus fruits, floral and grassy notes. Clean and crisp. Mild stickiness. Medium lasting finish, slightly dry, lingering hop bitterness.

Quite tasty. Refreshing and easily drinkable. Perhaps too drinkable for the ABV. :)
