Tap at Gremlin. Nice fruity taste, citrus and slightly zesty and bit stinky tropical fruit. Very nice. Quite sharp aroma with citrus, grapefruit, some earthiness. Very nice stuff.

On tap at Bungalow it pours an opaque brass with a film of off-white foam. The aroma is very fruity, prickly pear, jackfruit/guanabana and perhaps a touch of guava. Medium bodied with a raspy carbonation and dry finish. I love the distinct tropical fruits I get from this which match the aroma perfectly and are joined with a herbal character in the finish. Dead easy to drink, I’ll be keeping an eye out for this experimental hop.
