330ml can. Heavily hopped ( dry hopped?) lager from London. Hops include Vic Secret, Mosaic, Chinook & Denali. Carbonation is low and bitterness is high for a lager. A refreshing, summertime, lager/APA hybrid. Pretty good.
NB. I drank this 16 mths after its best before date. Much more pine than tropical fruit.

L - Light yellow, very slightly hazy. Pours with thin white head that clears quite quickly to lacing.
S - Smells like sparkling grapefruit juice. This does not bode well I fear.
T - Sparkling grapefruit juice wasn't much wrong. It's bizaare to me a beer tasting like this rather than tasting at all like a beer.
F - Although it's highly citrus it is not quite as brutally tart as some other beers I've had recently with this kind hop-driven flavour profile. I won't have a problem finishishing it, it is extrememly refreshing...
O - ... but I won't be buying it again. It is unbalanced to me. Perhaps it might have a place 'On your hols' something very hot. But this is October in London and it's currently 9C.

Canned in a presumably crafty craft can
pours a lemon jello coloured clear body with big but quickly dissipating white head that reduces to a minimum
Aroma is tangerine
tastes like vague citrus
adequate

Clear yellow colour. Citric, grassy aroma, turned into mango. Quite bitter taste with long metallic finish, hoppy for a lager.

Can poured into tulip glass.
Received in an advent calendar. I’m not a huge fan of lagers or indeed anything particularly “tropical” in my beers so assumed that I’d hate this. Actually pleasantly surprised. Crisp, refreshing and flavoursome without overdoing the standard pineapple/mango/guava thing. Not really a beer for December but enjoyable nonetheless. Cheers!
