Can at home, 19th September 2025. Pours hazy, but not thick with haze. Aroma is candy, fruity pineapple. Taste is sweet, candied fruits, pineapple, thinnish mouthfeel. Disappointing actually, and I’m not a fan of OT, Rivington have done better beers solo

Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this gold beer, small short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine. Lovely hop stone fruits and tropical fruits. A light hop spice itch. Light finish leaves a light hop spicy linger. Love the HBC538 - Krush here.

500ml can. Almost opaque yellow, thin white head. Aroma of grapefruit, mango, guava, vinous and herbaceous. Taste is intensely hoppy, very citrusy, pithy orange and grapefruit, tropical mango and guava, white wine, very dank and herbal, finishing with strong pithy hop bitterness. Medium bodied. Solid DIPA as expected, though not among their best, amazingly.
