Crankshaft’s younger sister. Tropical fruit tones and just enough bitterness to enliven the palate.

Can sample at a tasting at Lauter. Thanks troubles. Hazy golden. Fruity hops, a bit stale, a bit (???), a bit sweetish, bitter finish.

Pours amber with a large fading head.Nose shows passion fruit, pine hops, soft resinous notes, a bit of lychee, some peach and nectarine, along with a bit of clean malt contributing a marmalade character.Flavours include a lot more sweet clean malt, along with big tropical fruit and piny hop notes. Perhaps a bit too sweet.

375ml can into glass. Thanks to Beer Cartel and Ratebeer. 7%. Pours a golden amber with a large frothy white head. A few bubbles make an appearance. Nose is tropical fruit and dank woodland. Smooth, viscous. Slight zing on the tongue than sweet fruit and a long dry herbal finish. Beautiful balance. Quality IPA.

From a 375ml can on 4/3/2019 (ABV listed as 7.0%, not 6.7%). Pours a slightly hazy golden with a small head. Has a pleasant tropical fruit, honeyed nose. Flavour wise, there's lots of biscuit malt, citrus, stone and tropical fruit, and a quite firm hoppy finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Curiously described as Crankshaft's little sister on here. But this is, imho, markedly better and bolder than Crankshaft. Extremely tasty and really well balanced. A very pleasant surprise.

Slightly hazy deep golden color. Loose rocky head. Somewhat dank but nose of weed, citrus and pine that is modestly sweet. Modest aggressive bitterness with lots of pine, citrus and weed. Mouth feel isn’t that great and carbonation could be higher. Not enough bitterness and alpha acids, so the mouth feel come across a bit weak. Not bad but not fantastic
