Nicked out of the Old Man's fridge in March 2024 and drunk in May of that year.

L: The beer pours a hazy, bright, light yellow in the glass, with a large, merengue-like bright-white head. Lots of very small bubbles stream up the glass.

N: A bright citrus and tropical aroma is present, with some light malts at the edges. It's not bad at all.

T: It took several mouthfuls to convince myself I was tasting the same thing I'd been smelling moments earlier. The taste is watery with the barest touch of lemon and soda. The finish is weak and thin. None of the tropical notes present in the aroma show up in the mouth. I can imagine it takes a particular effort to replace pleasant aroma with non-existent taste, but whatever it took, it's been achieved here.

M: The mouthfeel is slightly thin, and carbonation and carbonic prickle sit around medium. The finish, as noted above, is very thin.

O: Insert here my usual rant about the crimes against beer perpetrated in depressing regularity by Pinnacle Drinks.

Cheers!
