Nice, kind of old-school. Sun-kissed pale malts, bitter grass and pine, orange peel. Very enjoyable. Lingering bitterness.

CBJ tasting. Thanks to Wingman for the can. Clear gold beer, small off white head. Smooth palate, slightly soft, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft pale malts, mellow creamy sweetness. Soft pine. Savoury skunk, not too forward. Mild bitterness. Slightly soft and juicy semi ripe citrus. Not the usual hop fruity dipa of my preferred choice but, I liked this one.

On tap at Hop Nuts, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is actually rather delicate, with piney hops, a hint of resins and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is surprisingly restrained and easy-drinking, with bright piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Reminds me of Pliny — super easy-drinking and balanced. Lovely. Deleting my prior review, which was clearly based on an infected beer. This new version is just divine.

An Oxford tasting, can
Hop Nuts Green Mamba, can, 8%, Matt Hazy golden color, no head. Lemony, citrusy, creamy aroma (custard). Caramelly malt, moderately sweet, creamy, not offensive butter, but still something is wrong. The finish is a bit piney.
Wrong but not too bad.

Hazy light tan. Lots of hops on the nose, nothing more distinct than grapefruit. And a lot of diacetyl. It's pretty prominent. On the palate, same. Loads of bitter hops and a whack of butter. The diacetyl is far too pronounced on this one.
