Thanks Drew.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: thick orange haziness with a finger and a quarter of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pine, pineapple, tangerine, nectarine and a touch of peach; light clean sweet cracker malts
Flavor: bittersweet combo through the prior noted aromas with some juiciness; finishes piney to tangerine and peachy
Texture: medium bodied, almost sessionable; light smoothness but also some hop assertiveness
Overall: it's on it's way of being a really good one; I'd come back to this in hopes of knowing it got tweaked a bit.

Fruity and malty with notes of grapefruit and nectarine, some nice piney resinous bitter hoppy action, sweet caramel malty backing, solid bitter hoppy close. Nice. (Note to amend abv incorrectly added)

Can purchased from Beautiful Beers, consumed at home. Mid- to dark gold and hazy with a small film of white head. Sumptuous on the nose with big hits of pine, mango, melon, resin. Smells a bit boozy as well. Sweet taste with lashings of tropical fruit, followed by an astringent hoppy pine bitterness. Nicely balanced in the melon-heavy medium-to-long finish. Heavy carbonation. A tasty IPA for sure.

Large foamy white head stayed on a turbid dark gold body. Punchy juicy aroma. Medium bodied, sparkling over the tongue with a dry clean back. Bitter/Sweet citrus, hops, bubble gum, nectarine & tangerine tastes. Nice one.

Real whammy for Southampton on the south coast today. Drinking this beer is not a whammy.

Hoppy City is in need of a hero, Hopman steps forward and delivers a flavorful punch of a citrus hop that leaves you wanting more.
