Spicy fresh orange and grapefruit, little pink grapefruit. Finishes spicy and dry with a little tropical fruits. Cracking good citrus here. Lovely.

Juicy, tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of mango, passion fruit, papaya, some tangerine, minimally sugary and oaty, malty background. Taste is bitter and tropical fruity as well as citrusy hoppy, slightly dry and papery, notes of passion fruit, mango, orange, grapefruit, tangerine, sweet-ish, sugary and oaty basis; prickling carbonation. Highly drinkable, juicy - well crafted NEIPA.

(473ml can from Kihoskh, BB 05/04/18) Pours a very hazy dark gold with a white head and some lace. Aroma of pale malt, touch yeasty, citrus zest, soft grapefruit, herbal, light coriander, touches of sweet peach. Flavour of pale bready malt, pithy citrus, herbal menthol-like hops, coriander, vague pit fruit, melon, soft peach, dusty, pretty dry overall but light on bitterness. Medium bodied with relatively soft carbonation. Solid effort, a lot less juicy than some recent NE style offerings out of the UK and elsewhere, but pretty crisp and drinkable. Nice stuff.

Can domed at home in Hackney - picked up at the Hop Locker. Pours hazy orange-gold with a small, foamy white head. The aroma holds bready pale malts, ripening citrus fruits, tangerine, melon, orange. Light to medium sweet flavour with modest rindy bitterness, more pale bread, papaya, tangerine, melon. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, with further sturdy pale malt base, more tangerine and melon, mild tropical fruit notes, low bitterness, a little boozy warmth. I wasn't blown away at the start, but this beer grew on me. Overall, really nice stuff.
