Bottle. Harrogate Fine Wine. Very hazy, pale orange. Frothy, sticky, off white head. Nose has creamy malts. Pink grapefruit. Overripe orange. Has an earthy edge, maybe down to this one being eight or so weeks old? Taste is bitter and pithy. Some citrus sweetness. Light body. Foamy mouthfeel. Light, crisp bitter finish. Decent, although not particularly vibrant.

Bottle at home, 09/07/16. Very lightly hazed orange golden with a well appointed off white head. Nose is orange jelly, pine, papaya, mango, sticky tropicana, toasted bread. Taste comprises orange pith, grapefruit, mango, blood orange, toasted bread, pine needle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with sticky hop bitterings. Solid session gear ... like a light version of DIPA v3. Loads of sticky tropical jizz going off.

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Hazy golden body with a medium white head. Steady carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of pineapple, lychee, mango and peach sherbet. Flavour of green stalks, grapefruit, white grape and melon. The aroma jumps out of the glass as it’s being poured. A stunning Session IPA with flavour depth way beyond its ABV. I agree with the reviewer below - I would love to try an IPA version of this recipe.

Hazy gold beer, good fluffy white head. Airy palate and mildly crisp. Very light malts. A little seltzer. Mild lemon sherbet into mellow hop skunk. Mild orange and mango. Light finish. Very tasty and drinkable. Would like to see them IPA this recipe.
Remins me of lemonade. Suoer clean. Really drinkable. Vermont yeast strain. Tidy.

Bottle at home picked up from Bottle Shop Druid Str. A bright translucent golden yellow straw coloured pour with a lasting fluffy white head. Aroma is lovely juicy tropical fruits, mango and lychee, grape, hints of sharp lemon citrus, super juicy, pale bready grains. Flavour is composed of pale bready malts, sharp tangy lemon citrus, tangerine, pinch of citric acid keeps the flavour nice and sharp and tight. Some background nice tropical fruits. Hint of smoke. Palate is crisp and sharp, highish carbonation Really good stuff.

Bottle at home in Ashford - picked up at the Bottle Shop (Bermondsey). Hazy cloudy pale gold lasting white head. Big simcoe aroma of cat pee and gooseberry. Very tasty in the mouth. Good mouthfeel. Lovely sharp fruits like lemon, grapefruit and gooseberry. Touch of earthiness. Some bitterness which is light. Decent though. Lovely fruit. Refreshing.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the Bottle Shop (Bermondsey). Pours mostly clear gold with a frothy, white head. Glorious aroma, nicely dank and citrusy, with notes of mango, melon and tangerine. Light to medium sweet flavour with more juicy hop character, more melon, papaya, orange, very slight bitter hay and pine. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with just a little oily resin, restrained pale bread sweetness, more tangerine, some grapefruit, touches of bitter citrus rind, more tropical fruit notes. Really great stuff overall. Hugely drinkable.
