Brewed especially for IndyMan Beer Con 2019. An amped up ode to Quiet Charge, prepare for a tropical odyssey navigating waves of juicy Amarillo & Citra. Subtle spiciness, bright citrus, dank pine and candied fruits. A session ender, or maybe starter, we’ll let you decide.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at the Experiment. Pours murky gold with a frothy, white head. Quite thick and chewy, sugary and almost syrupy, lots of ripe citrus, oats, doughy pale malts, soft piney bitterness. Medium to full bodied, oily, chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, somewhat sticky sweet, more oats, pale grains, pureed citrus fruit. So so overall. Not super drinkable.

Can from the Offie, Leicester, drunk at home. Hazy yellow gold with a touch of white head on top. Lots of sweet tropical fruit in the aroma: banana, honeydew melon, mango. A hint of alcohol at the beginning of the sip, but after that it's all smooth, gently bittersweet with some mango sorbet in the finish. Full, thi k body with very little carbonation. Masterful.

Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Smooth airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, a thin creamy sweetness. Crisp pine with quite a savoury skunky hop delivery. Citrus is reasonably bright but a secondary aspect. Crisp snd fairly dry finish. If you dig the greener aspect of hops, this could be right up your alley. If you appreciate the differences between hops, you might be forgiven for this representation of Citra and Amarillo. Crisp piney finish brings about traces of fresh orange and tropical fruits. Light crispy finish. Mild hop tingle linger. A big grower!

Tap @ IMBC 2019. Hazed golden yellow appearance, white foam. Aroma of dank mango tropics, juicy. Taste continues along similar lines, relatively full-bodied, smooth vibrant tropics, mango, tangerine citrus. Well-rounded, good.
