Just cracked open a long, white‑beer‑style IPA and I’m absolutely smitten. It hits you with practically pure mandarin juice – the kind of citrus that makes you think of a fresh mandarin liqueur and a dash of honey swirling together. There’s a hint of candied fruits and nougat, a little cassata‑like creaminess, and even a whiff of vineyard peach that feels bonkers in the best way. The hop character is heavily mandarin‑forward, yet it stays fresh and not outrageously complex, so it’s a pleasant change from the usual malt‑heavy stuff. Sipping it through a straw, I can almost smell the stunning aromatic purity of a Corsican orchard – all on citrus, with a tease of honey and a whisper of strawberry. Definitely a fruity beer worth a repeat. 🍊😊

Wow, this one's bonkers. The mandarin just reigns supreme, it's practically pure mandarin juice with a stunning aromatic purity. 😮 It's fresh and fruity, like peeling a fresh one. There's a touch of vineyard peach and a dash of honey in the background, maybe a hint of that white beer or IPA hop character. Not outrageously complex, but all on citrus. It's a pleasant change, honestly. A bit like sniffing a glass of mandarin liqueur. Smitten! Makes me think of cassata ice cream or even just a bale of sweet straw in the sun. A very happy, simple drink.

Right then, here's what I reckon about this one. First thing I get is a lovely sort of pollens and rolling tobacco, with a dried out honey quality and a bit of that waxed canvass impression. It's quite complex right from the off. As it opens up, it gets richer and rounder. There's a definite waxiness to it, like furniture polish, alongside some crushed parsley and white pepper giving it a bit of a zing. Then comes this really nice sweetness, reminds me of pineapple jelly, with a greener, almost juniper-like note underneath. 🍍 The finish brings out some bergamot, like in Earl Grey tea, and strangely, a touch of face cream, all rounded off with that sweet, dried out honey that lingers. Quite the character. 😊

Cheers mate, this one's absolutely bonkers – straight up mandarin juice with a dash of honey stirred in, like someone mixed a fresh white beer with a drop of that Corsican mandarin liqueur. 🍊 It's got that stunning aromatic purity, all on citrus, but then there's this soft touch of vineyard peach and a bit of candied fruit hiding in there too. Feels long and fresh on the palate, almost like a fruity beer that's gone posh. Straw colour but taste-wise? I'm utterly smitten. 🍯🍑

Blimey, this one’s got me proper smitten. It’s not outrageously complex, but sometimes you just want something that hits right, you know? First thing I get is all on citrus – like someone squeezed a mandarin right in there. Super fresh. Then there’s this lovely dash of honey that comes through, sweet but not sticky. It’s got this heavily mandarin-forward hop character that’s just… bonkers. 🍊 The finish is long, and that’s where the candied fruits finally show up. A pleasant change of pace for a Tuesday night dram. Simple, satisfying, and happy. 🍯
