NEDIPA by this up-and-coming craft brewery in Hampshire, England; from tap at Bar Beenhouwer, Ghent. Mousy, off-white, membrane-lacing, largely stable head, hazy yellow-golden robe with vague khaki tinge. Aroma of guava, mango juice, lychee, dough, soggy biscuit, pineapple juice, honey, hints of sweet red onions and green pond water somewhere. Sweet onset, very lusciously tropical, lots of ripe pineapple, mango and guava effects, yellow kiwi and a slight edge of citrus, softishly carbonated; full but supple, creamy body. Sweet doughy and honeyish core completely soaked in tropical juiciness and sultriness, with all the mango, lychee and guava returning in full force, but remaining low in bitterness; warming, bit liqueurish but non-offensive alcohol note in the tail. Typical 'alcoholic fruit juice' NEDIPA - ticking all the boxes, but lacking a bit in complexity; I think a bit more actual hop bitterness would do this beer good, too, but this is of course a personal opinion that I tend to apply to all beers in this hazy New England idiom - how I miss the West Coast IPAs of many a year ago... Good, in all, but certainly not staggeringly so.

Solid juicy stuff. Maybe a bit to sweet. Missed some bitterness to back it up. Cloudy yellow in the glass with a fine white head Nice hoppy and fruity aroma Mellow carbonation level. Easy to drink Decent duration Citric hoppy, pine and tropical fruity flavor [On tap at TÆPS in Fredrikstad, Norway]
