Can from CW - thanks to Colin. It pours crazy cloudy orange with is a massive foamy yellow - white head. The aroma is rich, sweet, juicy, fruit smoothie, orange creamiscle, solera, tangy tangerine, mango, apricot, fruit cocktail, powdery, bit green and dank. The taste is dry, bitter, pithy, zesty, juicy, orange, blood orange, tangerine, papaya, boozy kick, more sweet than better, spicy, marmalade, Cointreau, sticky, touch of greenness, powdery with a warming and sticky finish. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Juicy and fruity. Perhaps a bit sweet and boozy for the style. Would prefer more bitterness to be honest. Decent anyhow.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced from the brewery via Cloin (I think?). Pours murky orange with a lasting, frothy white head. Smells like a fruit smoothie, lots of mango and passionfruit, oranges, white grape, pale bread, a hint of pine, melon. Medium to heavy sweet flavour with loads of pureed tropical fruits, more mango, fleshy papaya, tangerine, peach and pear, mild bitterness, bready pale malts, a nip of alcohol for sure. Full bodied, fairly thick and chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, sticky and gooey, with loads more liquefied fruits, citrus and tropical, lots of sticky mango and papaya, some oily pine, modest rindy bitterness. Pretty ridiculous stuff, but great fun overall.

16th April 2018, at the monthly beer exchange in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Cheers Paolo for bringing this 440ml can. Misty, dirty yellow body, white topping. A fruit smoothie in nose and taste (just like Mat said at the time), tropical fruit abound in this interesting brew, liked it and it's 10% ABV.

440ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, April 18, courtesy of Paolo. Thanks Paolo. Pours a cloudy gold, small white head. Exotics on the nose of a mango, peach, apricot persuasion. Taste carries on with a smooth, fleshy stone-fruit smoothie character. Effortlessly drinkable. Good stuff.

440ml can. Murky opaque orange with an off-white head. Strong hoppy nose, citrus and tropical fruits, pineapple, mango. Taste is sweet, tropical and citrus, fruits, mango, pineapple, pine, papaya, some hop burn, doesn't seem like 10% though, a little sticky. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. An excellent massive IPA from Cloudwater.

Can. Cloudy amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and mildly dry and has decent fine carbonation. Soft sweet malts, fair dose of caramel. Smooth pine into rich and slightly ripe orange and tangerine. Touches of blood orange and pink grapefruit. Light hop spice. Smooth finish. A little on the sweet side maybe but it feels like a proper DIPA and goes down very well.

Can at home. Pours murky gold with a decent white head. Aroma is peppery hop, orange and piney resin. Taste is a mango and orange with a big piney sticky resin hoppiness that is big and bitter. Nice stuff

47,3 cl can @ olio. FFE 02.05.2018, BBE 30.05.2018
Aroma has fruity tones, pineapple juice and fruit candy. Flavour has fruit juice, some grapefruit, pineapple juice and tropical fruits. Quite typical juice-ipa, perhaps a bit more hoppy than average. Drink this one chilled or you get alcohol in your face.

Keg at the Barrel room, Cloudwater. A murky dark orange amber coloured pour with a sticky white head. Aroma is big dank, funky orange, spicy citrus, orange rind faint onion,. Flavour is composed of sticky resinous hop, chewy orange, dank grassy hop, light toffee note. Palate is semi lovely, full bodied, airy carbonation, chewy with a nice finish. Really nice.
