A fairly straightforward new world-y IPA. Hazy, white head, sweet citrus aroma, grapefruit and mango in the flavour giving it a sweet hit that's borderline sickly to my taste. Gimme a well chilled can of it and I'd be all over it.

19th Nov 2018. Monthly Share Group meeting in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury, only three of us this time. 330ml can, cheers Mike. Misty old gold body, white topping. Hoppy, earthy, bitter, dank; some citrus action too.

Pours almost clear yellow-golden, topped with smaller white head. Lots of tropical fruits, mango and pineapple. Piney. Very nice. Milder bitterness with some fruitiness. Herbal aftertaste. Light body, fresh and sparkly. A bit too harsh on the herbs in the aftertaste.

Canned 330ml. -at Pivoteka Zagreb. Golden coloured, medium sized white to off-white head, hops and touch of caramel in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel, herbal hops, mild citrusy and some light bitterness with rather sweet finish. Not so fresh example.

On tap at Craft Room, Opatovina, Zagreb. Shared with lovely Anja. Murky golden, small off-white head. Lightly to moderately hoppy, fruity, citrus, orange, maybe peach, tropical notes. Also malty. Not getting the English hops if they were in fact used. Light bitterness. Aromatic. Medium body, moderate carbonation, light finish. Average.
