Fresh can as part of my 40th celebrations. It pours hazy orangey - blonde with a handsome white head. The aroma is super fresh, juicy, perfectly ripe mango, peach, passion fruit, papaya, sticky, sappy and resinous. The taste is firm dryness, lovely fresh pine, pleasing bitterness, touch of minerality, weedy, dank, pine, ripe tropical fruits, in particular mango, peach, nectarine, passion fruit, apricot jam, twist of citrus and just a touch of alcohol to support it. Finish is drying and pithy green. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Exquisite. Fresh, flavour, balanced and stupidly drinkable.

660ml big boiii bottle from Aldi. It pours clear lager yellow with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is grainy, spicy, bready, zingy citrus and some nuttiness. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, quite grainy, spicy, green veg, definitely has tequila vibes, floral, snappy biscuit, pithy, zesty and waxy citrus peel with a dry, grainy finish. Medium body and fairly high carbonation. A bit grainy, but it's not bad. Drinkable enough when cold.

Can direct from Brewdoge. It pours clear and a lot packed than expected, rich golden. - blonde with a decent white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tropical vibes, vibrant passion fruit, mango, peach, persimmon, sappy, resin and apricot wine. The taste is disturbingly smooth, slick, mellow, tropical stones fruits, peach, dried mango, nectarine, passion fruit, splash of lilt, gummy candy, heady booze, toasty grains, crunchy, white bread apricot jam sandwiches, oily, slick and some nutty cereal. Finish is dryer with a boozey bite. Fulsome body (but not heavy), fine prickly carbonation and oily mouth feel. The description makes I sound like a TIPA, but this is strong tropical golden ale. Creeps up on ya.
