A punchy double dry-hopped DIPA brewed in collaboration with Spanish stars Basqueland Brewing. Generously hopped at a ratio of 16g/l. Immediate aromas of melon and mango move to a complex fruit salad coutesy of the BBC hops - leaving a lasting tropical sweetness.

Can sourced from Beerdome, and shared at home (25/07/2020) - hazy golden orange with a white head. Robust fruity with layers of tropical fruit, some mango and grapefruit, melon, splash of lemon, light bitter hoppy finish. Good stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Business Decision on 26 Mar 2025 at 12:30 - Score: 7.

440ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Piney and tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of mango, some passion fruit, pineapple, hints of melon and orange, mandarine, sweet-ish, minimally sugary, malty background. Taste is dry, sweet-ish, wheaty and oaty malty, tropical fruity hoppy, notes of mango, some passion fruit, some pine and pineapple, hints of honeydew melon, some orange and mandarine. Slightly oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine and soft but efficacious carbonation. Rather sweet, slightly unspecific fruitiness, relatively clean, very drinkable - good.

Can. Hazy gold beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is light and has a sharp fine minerally crisp bite. Slightly thin malts but bringing a good creamy sweetness. Snappy piney citric hops. Soft rich and semi ripe orange and and mandarin. Supported well by a ripe mango and a touch of guava. Crisp finish. Everything right here, just missing that something to take it over the barrier.
