Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 3 330 ml can, from Helgø Meny Stadionparken. Slightly hazy pale golden colour, minimal white head.

472 | Azvex Mana Piña Colada Smoothie Sour | United Kingdom | Fruit Beer | 3.6
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 440 ml can, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 6%. Thick texture, does indeed look like a Piña Colada smoothie, opaque pale yellow colour. The can must be turned upside-down a few times prior to opening. Aroma of pineapple and coconut. Flavour again of pineapple, coconut and alcohol - in a blind test, I might have been fooled to believe that this was a real Piña Colada longdrink. Not very sour. So if you think you don't like beer, but love a Piña Colada: try this beer! I am so fortunate to like both a variety of beers, AND Piña Coladas - lucky me! |
