Can. At the wingman. Pours a very hazy dark hold with little head. Aroma is very hoppy with loads of citrus fruit, especially grapefruit. Quite tropical as well. Soft oats. Pine and resin. Medium to big body. Smooth. Flavour is malty with a medium sweetness. Very soft and oat but with a intense bitter bite, in combination with something that almost reminds me of almond? Malt with some caramel, loads of grapefruit, pineapple, guava, papaya and mango. Very interesting IPA. Smooth but bitter. Very drinkable. Could have a bit more herbal hops and pine, but really good.

Pours a nice cloudy pale gold with a foamy white head, and a beautiful sweet, fruity aroma, stone fruit and tropical fruit pleasantly mixed. The taste is initially both bitter and sweet, with some resinous hops apparent, before the tropical fruit takes over, it slides down with a nice smooth mouthfeel, leaving a slightly dry, bitter finish

Can from Tesco, Brooklands. Sweet stonefruit aroma, with a resinous core. Hazy pale orange. Creamy translucent white head. Light-medium bitter and resinous throughout. Over this we have sweet stone fruit which also contributes a touch of sourness. Does not hide it's ABV. Medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Average carbonation. Relatively abrupt finish.

Can. Murky amber with a dense white head. Aroma is poweful but clenched rather than vibrant, with grapefruit, just ripe tropical fruit, peach, pine, pasture/ herbal notes. And it's the last of these along with old pineapple sweetness that dominates the taste. Medium high bitterness. Best before 6/20 but maybe too old.
