Drawing from the song that inspired it, its bitter background is soon overturned by big hop notes. Sherbet and lemon contend on the nose while a full bodied grape and lime flavour clean the palette.

Bottle from Drunk Dry, Kidlington, Oxon, consumed at home cooking a Picadillo (Mexican Chilli) Sunday 30th July 2017. Pours gold, light haziness. Dusty dry hoppiness in the mouth, tropical fruits on the nose, I agree with lychee. Fruity in the mouth, really very pleasant however keep returning to the slight dusty hops, this is my only disappointment otherwise a nice beer. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Pours a slightly hazy yellow golden color, topped with a big and nicely lasting creamy white head. Very lovely fruity aroma, some pineapple and lychee notes mixed with citruses. Medium bitterness that grows a bit stronger later on, herbal feel to it a bit, with some citrusy feel way in the back. Dry(ish) finish and short aftertaste. Nicely enjoyable, a solid IPA.
