1.97/5  rDev -41.4%
look: 2.5 | smell: 2.25 | taste: 2 | feel: 1.75 | overall: 1.5
L- Mid gold, slightly cloudy. 2cm white head holding well.
S- I wanted beer; this smells like I ordered a Britivic Bitter Lemon and they took the request most seriously.
T- Sharply dry, fashionable yet un-beerlike and quite unpleasant. Like unsweetened grapefruit soda that someone (30 years younger than you) tries to tell you 'is in fact a beer, a really cool one you know!'.
F- Astringent.
O- Kiddy can with kiddy art = kiddy beer

Can - impressive graphics. Why I bought - haven’t had much luck with none USA ipas...
Good appearance - amber & excellent head for a can.
None objectionable nose - slight malt.
Let down by sour aftertaste.

Pours hazy gold, tight head.

Mango and Pineapple on the nose, some caramel/light toffee

Similar in taste, the caramel is more pronounced and doesn't really work for me in a lager, I guess it's there to balance the bitterness but this would be much the better without it. med/high bitterness, dry-ish finish, some drying mineral quality. Decent enough
