Bottle shared thanks to Santa minutemat. Hazy dark golden with off white head. Orange, grapefruit, lots of dank weeds, marzipan, light caramel, yeast, weird tropical fruits, light dough. Very unusual aromas mixed in here. Medium sweet and over medium bitter. Medium bodied with creamy feel. Nice.

Keg @ Pilcrow, Manchester. Very hazed amber with a good head, full fruitiness in both aroma and taste and fairly crisp.

Keg at the Hanging Bat. Pours London murky yellow gold with a thin white head. Mosaic is a lovely hop though. Massive floral and tropical fruit aromas, lilies, passionfruit, grapefruit, pineapple juice. Taste reflects that. On the sweet side, but big bags of hop juiciness. Easy drinking and balanced. Top notch.

Very hazy amber beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has good fine carbonation. Light dry malts, mild to medium sweet. Good hop spice bite in this one. Mild pine. Nice gamut of tropical fruits, mango stands out a little. Light finish. Very nice, but like the DIPAs, could be a little cleaner.

330ml bottle from the brewery via Eebria. Pours hazy orange, white head. Aroma is big juicy exotic fruits. Taste is smooth, with passionfruit, grapefruit, mango, lychee with a prominent fruity yeast influence. Nice bitter follow-up. Classy modern IPA.
