Full disclosure: we share the same graphic designer as Ocean Reach so we may well be biased, but with their Tropical XPA it's worth mentioning the outside as well as the inside. Why? The label design made the top ten in the inaugural GABS Can Design Awards in 2020.
But what of the beer lurking inside? Ours poured with a big head that soon dissipated to leave a beer with low carbonation in which a fair smorgasbord of fruits wallow: there's strawberries and red berries to taste, as well as riper, sweeter tropical fruits. Next to no bitterness in combination with the low bitterness makes for one soft as beer juice too.
