Can. An unclear yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of lemons, straw, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemons, hops, straw, and malt, leading to a bitter finish. I had hoped for more.

330ml can @ Station. Pours murky golden yellow, aroma is a little mucky, some citrus fruit. Taste presents a smooth, oaty, fruity citra character. A little tangy & sharp, some papaya / lychee juice. Generally decent.

330ml can. Really hazy golden, almost opaque, with a frothy white head. Aroma of soft sweet citrus fruits, orange, mango, passionfruit. Taste is light sweet, soft citrus and tropical fruits, mango, papaya, passionfruit, orange peel, bitter grapefruit, quite well balanced. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Nice one. Not marketed as a NEIPA but it looks and tastes like one.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth, fairly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, smooth but light and dry, mildly sweet. Smooth pine. Mild tangy orange and a sprinkle of hop spice. Plenty of hop here but overall it feels curiously recessed. Didn't really gel with this at all.

Can from Cocktails, Littleborough. Cloudy amber-yellow with a small head. Oat heavy ale, plenty of citrus, hides its strength well but is dense tasting and fuller-bodied. Has a dryness to it but remains juicy enough.

One-third-pint, cask at Foleys Tap House. Hazed grey-yellow body, filmy layer, fair lacing. Pineapple on the nose. Juicy pineapple flavours with grainy malts. Restrained fruity bitterness to the ending. Feels a bit thin in the mouth. Satisfying. (Leeds 02.07.2018).
