THE DON. 30g/l dry hop. This is it. This is it turned up to 11. This is peak Citra and Galaxy. Huge in every way. Silly.

Draught Very good, just off-white head over bit orangey, fully hazy yellow beer; rings of lace. Hints at halogens. Fresh hopcones, citrus, resin. Sweet-bitter. Dry, yet fruity character. Citrus/orange/grapefruit - (almost) overload. Resin, orangeliqueur (not Mandarine Napoléon, wàààày drier). Somewhere a hint of coriander. Very oily/viscous feel despite good carbonation. Chewy, long lasting flavours. Good! It's not easy to make a really good TIPA that conserves hopiness and drinkability. This one is a success.

440ml can. Pretty much opaque golden, small but dense white head. Aroma is very dank, weedy, tropical fruits, stone fruits. Taste is the same, very dank and weedy, herbal, peppery hop spice, ripe tropical mango, papaya, stone fruits, light savoury onion undertones, gentle booze warmth. Full bodied, smooth. Top tier TIPA.

Can from The Fuss Club.
Tropical fruit, orange, grapefruit & peach aromas. Heavy taste of grapefruit, white grape, pithy orange, tropical fruits, passionfruit. Bundles of alcohol warmth. Exceedingly robustly hoppy finish. Very tasty, improves as it goes along.

440ml can. Pours very hazy dull orange with a large head. Aroma is sweet, with onion, alcohol, melon and papaya. Taste is sweet to start with papaya and onion. Dry aftertaste. Syrupy mouthfeel.

On tap at One Inn The Wood, Petts Wood on 14th July 2026. Opaque yellow ochre with white foam and pattern lacing. Earthy pungencies, citrus zest and moderately sharp spices in aroma, with a cheesy transient note. Prickly pepper and zesty citrus in-mouth, and a powerful finish of complex zests, spices and herbs. A sharply engaging texture and a full body.
