Draft at the Lewes brewery taproom. Poured a milky yellow golden colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is grassy, stone fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a light, crisp, fresh, herbal, stone fruits, mineral, somewhat watery, tart lime, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation. Doesn’t really come close to being a great AF beer. Nice, but not special. Maybe there were some local issues.

This is too-notch NA gear. Tasted blind, probably wouldn’t be able to tell it’s NA. Lovely tropical fruit vibes, soft rindy bitterness, unusually creamy texture. Lightly sweet, not overly sugary. Very well balanced and super drinkable.

440ml can. Hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of passionfruit, grape, melon, lime. Taste of passionfruit, grapefruit, grape, lime zest, tropical fruits. Medium bodied.
Absolute top tier AF IPA. Nolia was already one of the best on the market but the NZ hops in this edition improve upon it for me.
