Brewed in Brighton, this vegan beer contains oats, barley, wheat and a quartet of hops: Chinook, Columbus, Citra and Simcoe. Emptying the 440ml can into a glass creates a good frothy topping which persists for a good while. A soft mandarin aroma greets you as you bring the glass to the lips. And the taste is a really well balanced array of flavours - mango, grapefruit and passionfruit, on a nicely understated base of pine and with a hint of spice. The mouthfeel is light and the finish is at once fresh and dry. This is a tasty partner to a hot summer's day - whether on the coast or not.
