Bottle from Eebria taproom Bermondsey and drunk at home. As I was pouring it, it just smelt of the tropical islands, tropical fruit, coconut, pineapple etc. Hazy gold orange pale brown beer lasting white head. Dirty earthy tropical friut aroma. Decent IPA in the mouth, some caramel, some bitterness on the finish but it’s all about the shout of tropical fruit. Pretty good. Full on tropical fruit IPA. Impressive. Raw yet smooth. Aggressive yet approachable. Dry and sweet. Pretty good fun.

Bottle - Light and sweetish malts. Smooth sweetish pine, modest skunk. Light citric peel. Touch of tropical fruits. Mild hop spice. Light dry crisp finish. Smooth piney linger. So great beer, cask and bottle. Brixton’s finest I think.

Keg at Craft 100. It pours lightly hazy orange - amber with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, piney, touch of musty farmyard, nectarine, peach, apricot and cereal. The taste is soft, mellow bitterness, pretty juicy stuff, apricot, peach, resinous, alcohol boost, mild astringency and peppery spice with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Nice and juicy. Rather tasty.
