\n<\/a>Another can into my oh-heck-I’m-one-year-older batch and what I pulled out of my special beer place struck me for two reasons. Firstly, the brewery’s name on the can featuring so boldly beside a relaxed Britannia, trident in one hand, brew in the other, would prove to be either extremely self-deprecating or deeply ironic, and I fortunately discovered it to be the latter. Secondly, sitting on top of the can was no ordinary tab.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>

\nFor so long, 360\u00b0 cans were something I only saw Americans drinking from on Instagram, but now thanks to BAD Co<\/b>, who were one of the first breweries to introduce these to the UK, I was\u00a0<\/span>
\nin for a whole new type of exbeerience.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nBeing so unversed in the working of these, the almighty hiss as I pulled the top off gave me a startle – but once the full force of its fruity and floral aroma smacked me round the nose I was well and truly put at ease. My can now completely topless, it felt almost as if I was peering into something forbidden.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/a>Unlike traditional cans which conceal the beer’s aroma, these make for decent drinking receptacles in their own right. But I wanted to see the full package, and after transferring it to the glass it was destined for, the bubbling hazy amber liquid was fully revealed, crowned with a cushion of white head.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\nGoing in for a proper whiff, sweet tropical aromas of mangoes and peaches with a few tangerine segments and their zesty peel – along with a bready backing as the brew warmed up – oozed up my nostrils.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>A smooth and juicy mouthful brought delicate, floral hops with a dash of herbs, rounded off with a dry, bitter lime finish.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nDescribed as aggressive and bold on the can, for me i<\/span>n an era of tongue-shreddingly hop-heavy IPAs,<\/span>\u00a0it came across more as mercifully laid-back and easy-drinking. Although, as beer-swigging Britannia reminds us on the can, this is a British brew yielding a more understated character. But let’s not get bogged down in labels and just enjoy this beer for the delightful experience it is, from a brewery that’s anything but BAD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
