330ml bottle from Hippo Beers, Gyle No. 115. Hazy orange-golden amber colour, white foamy head leaving lacing and aroma of juicy tropical fruits, mango, citrus, hop resins. Taste is malt caramel with mango, fruity citrus, grapefruit, pine and spicy hop bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, lingering spicy bitter finish. Well balanced, very drinkable IPA.

Bottle @ home. Hazy orange color, medium to full sized white to off-white head. Aroma is lightly malts, very fruity, hops and fruit hops. Lovely. Taste lightly malts, again full of hops and quite fruity again, pleasant tropical fruit in both aroma and flavor. Suitable medium body and carbonation. Very nice!

330ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours hazy gold with large white head. Aroma is tantalising tropical fruit. Taste is smooth with a startlingly vibrant tropical fruit character that just doesn’t let up from beginning to end. Effortlessly drinkable for the ABV with an incredible balance of flavours.. pineapple, peach, mango, lime, tangerine and everything inbetween. It’s hard to imagine any future IPA topping this. Ridiculously good.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines. Pours mostly clear orange-gold with a thick, frothy white head. The aroma really bursts out of this one, with loads of dank hops, ripe orange, tangerine, mango, papaya, cat pee, melon, undertones of pale bread. Medium sweet flavour with obscenely vibrant, juicy hop character, lots more citrus fruits, tangerine, mango, sturdy pale bread, melon, low bitterness, hints of pine. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish, warming, with continuing fresh, robust hop character, more tropical fruits, more citrus. Outrageously drinkable. While the beer is 8%, it goes down incredibly easily; only in the aftertaste do you start to feel some of the strength, as the alcohol warms you up. The hop expression here is mesmerising. This is a world-class IPA. Simply stunning.

Bottle picked up at Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham last weekend, consumed at home Saturday 9th January 2016 Pours Hazy gold edging towards orange with a large billowing head of foam. Mango and pineapple cubes combine on a very tropical nose. In the mouth this is really juicy, dangerously drinkable for 8%, the pineapple dominates in the mouth with a little sweet orange. Lovely bitterness, great beer.A8 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 4.0 I had this again at Merton Winter Beer Festival Fri & Sat 26th & 27th Feb’ 2016 in Keykeg. I don’t have much more to add to comments above, other than to say this is a really superb beer, wonderful mouthfeel, the tropical fruits are just singing in the aroma, great beer, score upped as a result.
