Citrus, melon, mandarin oranges, pineapple, gooseberries. Juicy but not too sweet, nice carbonation, easy drinking. 4.0 --- Beer merged from original tick of Golden Nugget IPA on 13 Dec 2015 at 13:43 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 9. Original review text: Clear deep golden pour, with a fine head with good retention. The smell is hop forward, mostly citrus and tropical fruits, together with honey. Tastes like grapefruit, papaya, a bit of mango, lime, honey. Slightly unbalanced towards bitter, but that’s a plus, from my perspective. Smooth mouthfeel, moderate carbonation and a bitter-sweet finish.

Can from Craft Beer Cellar Clayton. Pours a hazy gold with a quickly dissipating finger of white head. Dank aromas with pine, grass, citrus pith and light marmalade notes. Bitter grass and pine on the palate...quite dry with a soft mouthfeel and slightly lowish carbonation. Lingering pith and grass on the finish.

Murky orange colour, small white head. Riped mango and pineapple in the nose with some hop pellets. Medium-bodied. Juicy. Low bitterness. Pineapple and mango juice. Juicy well-brewed NEIPA but as such ... maybe a bit boring - another breakfast juice beer.

Pour is a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma is a nice mix of citrus and tropical fruit with some honey malt making an appearance as well. Flavor is grapefruit and orange and again I get some honey malt in the flavor. Finish is bitter and leave some hop residual on the tongue. This was a real nice single hop beer.

hazy pale yellow colour, moderate sized off-white head, which collapses quickly; aroma of tropical fruits, mainly pineapple abd lychee, some peach, grape, maybe pine, too; taste has the same notes wih some biscuity sweetness and minimal celery aftertaste; great IPA, many thanks for sharing, kapusil!

Can. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Aroma and taste of lychee, grapefruit, pineapple, green leaves and grape seed. Very lively tropical fruity IPA. Nice one.

Just white frothy head left a cover on a hazy light copper coloured still body. Big hoppy aroma with Tropical fruits, pineapple, confectionery & onions Medium bodied, sharp to the fore with a clean feel & crisp back. Tasted is as the aroma with Tropical Fruits, melon, sweet citrus, pith, zest & kiwi.
