28/8/2021. Cask at the 2021 East Anglian Beer Festival, Bury St Edmunds. Pours hazy dark amber/orange with minimal head. Aroma of fruit, orange, malt, hops, spicy edge. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness and body. Slight oily texture, soft to flat carbonation. Pretty decent.

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.
