A 500ml can, canned on 11th December 2023. Poured into a winebar glass.

Appearance: A hazy milky orange colour, with an almost two finger white head that had good retention and left nice lacing.

Aroma: Juicy, citrus peel, orange rind, tropical fruits, papaya, mango, with light melon and grassy notes.

Taste: Juicy, tropical, mango, papaya, citrus pith, orange rind, light melon, and a touch of grass.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Overall: Good juicy aroma and flavours. Enjoyed it as much as Freestyle Sandbox Vol.4. Still wish we could get these within 1 month of the canned on dates… 2 months is pushing it, and probably doesn’t do it justice, and also makes me reluctant to buy more than one can, just to give it a try, especially since I feel they’re currently doing some of the better IPAs in Asia.
