Can from Beer Republic. Aroma is floral hops, tropical fruits, citrus, biscuity malt, grapefruit, light pine, grass, with a touch of mango. Flavour is light sweet with a bitter finish. Body is medium. Proper floral/fruity IPA, dry and bitter, very nice.

Fairly clear golden coloured body with a thinnish one to two centimetre tall pure white head thatfades fairly quickly. Aroma of mangoes, citrus, light flowers, hay, grass and a good hit of resin, quite strong in the nose. Medium-bodied; Strong mango flavours at first with a lot of citrusey and lightly piney flavours with a touch of dry hay-like grassiness on the finish with some subdued sweetness from the fruit, but seemingly some extra bitterness. Aftertaste shows the mangoes for sure, but also a good hit of alpha acids and some flowers like jasmine and chamomile, all making the taste robust and complex, especially for an IPA. Overall, a nice and deep, full-flavoured IPA with a good balance of malts, strong bitterness and a smooth mango fruitiness. Great to sample and well worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased a few minutes ago from Corner Store (Bait and Tackle) in West Palm Beach, Florida on 14-February-2021 for US$3,89 sampled a few minutes later in Phipps Park with my family in West Palm Beach, Florida on 14-February-2021.

Pours unclear blonde. Small white head. Smell is tad sweet, fruity ( full, tad tropical ). Taste is full, tad bitter. Easy going, 'safe' IPA. Misses some of the hoppy freshness. Fruity, tad malty, mild tartness from the fruits ( grapefruit )
