Golden colour with light haze and thin head. Despite the amazing concept and design it's a really plain beer. A bit grainy. Very watery. What a shame.

Rocky white head left a froth on hazy, vivid amber coloured body. Big fruity aroma with mango, pineapple & bubble gum. Medium bodied, lively & thinning out to a dull clean back. Mango, bubble gum, sweet citrus & herbal tastes with a rather limp finish. Nice one.

Can from the Lancashire Bottle Shop. Pours hazy golden with a thin white head. Strong aromas of tangerine and tropical fruit as promised, some coconut at the back. Taste is slightly more subdues, but nicely balanced sweetness and bitterness. Tropical fruit and coconut linger. Nice.
