Can at home, 27th December 2025. Pours a hazy orange yellow. Aroma is tropical and citrus fruits. Taste is assertive, pithy, candied fruits and nicely bitter. By far the best beer I’ve had from LHG, who normally run too sweet

Taste is intensely hoppy, very dank and herbal, vinous, gooseberry, mango, peach, orange and grapefruit, slightly savoury, strong pithy hop finish. Full bodied, very smooth.
