Prepare to be hit with a cocktail of tropical and stone fruits. Thick, dank and impressively moreish.

Keg at Farfarout, Southsea. Cloudy waxy orange. Foamy white head. Aroma is very sweet and fruity with a herbal edge. Flavourwise it's pretty similar, with added pith and a resinous bitterness. Develops sweet porridge. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable if sweet.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts provide an adequate sweetness here, frankly all that's needed to balance the corking HBC586 delivery Crisp cooling pine into punchy stone fruits, tangerine, mango, all bright and juicy. Hop spice rides alongside and reminds you this ain't a nicely mixed fruit juice cocktail. Crisp finish brings a slightly candyish stone fruits. There is also a lovely touch of citrus and stone fruit tang and a trace of citrus peel bitterness. I have had a better Krush brew than this, then I have a faulty memory. This is a superb series of single hop DIPAs from this brewery and, the latest edition, I think, is the best of the lot. Just sublime.

500ml can. Murky orange, white head. Aroma of guava, papaya, peach. Taste is the same, ripe sweet tropical fruits, guava, papaya, peach, good hop bitterness at the end to counter the sweet start. Full bodied, soft, smooth.
Another great addition to the series though I think it's the lowest rating I've given for one of these.
