The concept was to create a juicy tropical beer. A brew you can sit on and drink all day, rammed with juicy malts and huge tropical aromas of mango and grapefruit. Massive additions of whole leaf American hops are added in ever increasing numbers at the end of the boil giving huge hop flavour. The beer is then dry hopped for days, driving the punchy aromas so you can smell it from miles away!

Decent but certainly not a top 50 beer. Orange pour with decent head. Copper pour with decent head. Good body, and decent beer, just not so upper tier as ratings suggest. Can at train station.

Can, gift from Ali and Em (cheers!), which they bought from Harvey Nichols in Manchester. Was surprised and pleased that this was still a new rate for me. Amber-gold with a white head. Decent body. Tropical notes up front, with orange and grapefruit emerging. A touch of pine in the moderately bitter finish. Pleasant and very drinkable, but a little forgettable. I'm sure it was great ten years ago, but there are now so many beers around doing the same thing better.

12oz can from Aldi. Golden orange pour, wispy white head. Light citrusy aroma, faint sweet malts, hint of hops. Malts take a larger role in the taste, grainy, bready, sticky. Hoppy accents throughout. Nice flavor with light lingering hop notes

12oz can pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is hay citrus hops and some light wheat. Taste is more of the nice hay citrus nice.

Amber with a frothy, white head. Aroma full of lemon zest with a touch of butterscotch. Taste is mildly bitter up front, moderate bitter at the back with some herbal acridity. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Good chewiness. Decent.

Pale golden with a 3cm head with good retention. Very slight haze. Very cool tin. Nice balanced hoppy nose. Orange, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon drop. Develops some pine. Nice up front hit of grapefruit in the mouth. Earthy almost smoky in the mid range. Lingering lemony bitterness. Slightly astringent on the gums. The hop profile is very nice and well defined. Good beer!

Very slightly hazy gold with a frothy / bubbly white head and a fresh and fruity aroma. Grapefruit bitterness and sweet citrus nicely balanced, a little over-carbonated perhaps, but a decent pale ale with just a hint of pine and nicely hopped
