Murky orange topped with a lasting white head.
Nose is punchy tropicana, grass, mandarin, lychee, subtle hop spice, pine resin.
Taste comprises grapefruit, pine resin, mango flesh, guava, hop spice, booze tickle, mandarin.
Medium bodied with some balls, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness allied to a mellow rising boost.
Top notch QIPA ... comes together very well without ever becoming sweet or cloying.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, a good fluffy pale cream colour head. Palate is very slightly viscous but, also quite airy, a mild dryness and good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Hops bring crisp cooling pine and a fair degree of spice. Southern Cross delivers a spicy and slightly ripe lemon, for me, the dominant flavour. Citra back fills well, Nelson brings a lightness and surprising sophistication to proceedings. A light crisp hop spicy finish. Right then, 13% - a QIPA that is not fucking about. I didn't notice the alcohol whilst drinking except for a slight winey booze when the Nelson kicks in. Really liked the Southern Cross up front. Overall, crisp, very hoppy and dangerously drinkable.

Pours a hazy, lemon-banana yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is a touch muted, but has a dank note of garlic/green onion upfront, along with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow and are more pronounced. The ABV is pretty well-hidden, though noticeable in the flavor. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness through the finish.
