A really tasty NEIPA. Very drinkable for 7.5 abv and really interesting fruit notes of guava and pomelo, as well as general citrus fruit. Really good interpretation of the style, enjoyed it.

Bottle shared at Cotteridge Convention 2018 - cheers all! Pours mostly clear gold with a foamy, white head. Good and dank shout, notes of melon, light pine, orange. Light to medium sweet flavour, pleasantly oily, more dank, some mango, moderate bitterness. Medium bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, lightly resinous. And very dank. Solid.

Hazy yellow. Aroma is much hops tropic fruit guava pineapple stinky socks. Nothing too exciting. Taste is fresh sweet malt with bitter hops. Very juicy and the average oat mouthfeel. Really drinkable. Just the nose is not so exciting.
