I was wary of this one because had coconut scrawled all over the can and I hate that stuff. But it's a really good beer! Good pour, great in the glass and very well balanced flavour. And I am more than pleasantly surprised. Beer 2 of the Zoom parents evening. You've got to get through it somehow......

Great pour, good carbonation and a great head. A real richness of flavour with good mouthfeel and length. A proper lager! Drinking it surreptitiously while doing a zoom parents evening for middle daughter.

Cask-conditioned at the Brit Bar, Weston Super Mare, 29/5/2024. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Tangerine and gooseberry fruits, some light maltiness and grassy hops leading to a moderately bitter finish. Good.

Can at home on a sunny Sunday evening having been fleeced for new glasses. AF because I have to pick up two offspring from drama rehearsals. Ok, this is the best AF I've had so far. Great pour, good head and a vibrant yet hazy colour in the glass. Bags of flavour and a tingly citrus mouthfeel. This is very good and I would happily drink this again.

Can at Pizzanova, Bristol. This was nice enough with fresh hop profile but just lacking in body, feeling watery. Needed some more dry hopping perhaps..

Last pint out the cask, hand-pulled in Love & Liquor, Codsall on 15th May 2024. Deep golden body, white crust. Malty front with a good hop undertone, piney and fruity.
