Bottle split at Bespin Base, W2, thanks to Nelly’s brother, 10/06/15. Lightly hazed golden topped with moderate off white spotting and edgework. Nose is juicy hops, Ribena berry, orange pith, caramel malt, mango. Taste comprises mineral strokes, pithy citrics, light peppery vibe, mango pulp, straw, bitter orange. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with an earthy hop chase. Decent enough easy drinking DIPA - carries the ABV off well.
