I almost need a spoon for this one. Quite chewy. Aromas of mango and lychee are quite restrained then it hits you like a brick in your mouth. There's quite a bitter finish with a surprisingly sweet malt background. The after taste has a little aspirin. Not my favourite. A bit extra, as the young people say. And that's coming from someone who loves double NEIPAs. In fact I came down to the brewery specifically to try it.

From a 375ml can on 4/5/2020. Pours a mildly cloudy golden with a small head. The nose is sweet and tropical and a touch dank. Flavour wise, it's heavy on tropical and citrus fruit (pineapple, mango, orange) and certainly on the sweeter side of things. There's a mild slightly spicy bitterness at the back that provides sufficient counter. Full bodied with a slightly slick mouthfeel, with moderate carbonation. Really solid and enjoyable, if falling just short of a home run.

Quarantinnie. Deep gold with an inch of white head. Almost opaque. Aroma of jammy apricot, pears, guava, orange, pepper, grass, pineapple. Sweet and fruity with a little hop burn that to an extent is OK because it relieves the sweetness. A few swirls made it seem creamier textured but - whilst good - it's just a bit too heavy for me.

Can. Pear juice coloured. Nose is pear and pineapple. Tropical punch flavours with a some transient hop burn that doesn't linger. Another in the hybrid NEIPA-WCIPA space...

Pours hazy gold with a lasting small creamy head.Nose shows lychee, peach, pear, passion fruit, pineapple, mango and clean malt.Flavours include more pear and lychee, some resinous and spicy hops, a bit of brash booze and petrol-like new world hop notes, followed by a fair whack of clean malt sweetness.
