Intense aroma of hops, noticeable citrus and floral. Hazy amber color, very big white head that stays for some time. Taste is exactly like smell: hoppy, citrus, floral, grapefruit bitter. Aftertaste isn’t as bitter and long as I hoped from the first sip. Medium carbonation. Overall: nice one. The floral tastes may put off some, but I think it gives more character to the beer.

Burk inköpt på Urban Tap House, Cardiff. Ljus bärnstensfärgad vätska med tjockt, högt, skum. Tydliga aromer av citrus, grape som blandas med brödtoner och mjuk kaka. Låg sötma i smak matchas med beska. Mjuk munkänsla. Kort eftersmak.

Can brought home from Maui by Paul and Rachel. Pours a slightly cloudy amber colour with an off-white head. Strong aroma of hops, hay, grass, syrup and grapefruit. Semi-sweet, with an oily texture. Average/fizzy carbonation. Quite heavy bitterness to taste, but more sweetness to the finish. Enjoyable.

355ml can. Orangey amber colour, foam white head leaving lots of lacing and aroma of malt caramel, tropical fruity mango, hop resin. Taste is malty caramel balanced with floral fruity citrus grapefruit hop bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter finish. Very drinkable IPA.

Keg at the southern. Pours yellow to orange gold with a good white head and high carbonation. Amazing hop aroma, pine and citrus. Then something musty on the taste which lets it down a bit. Otherwise excellent.
