330ml can. Pours a lightly hazy gold, frothy white head, good retention. Tropical fruit aroma, mango, orange, grapefruit. Taste is very fruity at first but then a malty biscuit note come into play, maybe a touch grassy as well. Low zingy citrus bitter finish but wouldn't have minded more of this. Moderate carbonation and body is a touch light but fine for a session IPA. Very enjoyable.

330ml can, praise be to Mark for bringing this back from the brewery literally the day after canning! Pours a glowing orange, unclear, good frothy white head. Light hoppy fragrance. Taste is lightly hoppy, gentle malt, nicely sessionable but not too much going on it has to be said. Fine session IPA.

330ml can – Pours a hazy egg-yolk yellow colour with an average sized frothy white head. Aroma is fruity, mango, sweet mandarin, grapefruit with a little pine. Moderately fruity sweet taste, mango, mandarin, grapefruit, some light biscuit malt and a lingering citrusy bitterness in the finish.

Can. A very lightly foggy golden colored beer with a foamy three-finger head. Very fruity, quite piney aroma, grapefruit and pineapple mostly, with some light bready malts in the far back. It's medium bodied and smooth on the palate, nicely carbonated and semi-dry, with a pleasant bitterness. The flavor has some bready malts and a wee caramel as a backdrop for piney, grapefruity hops. Some pineapple and orange zest too. Long hop driven finish. Sure a pleasant session IPA, even though it's seven months old. 200124

Can. Very cloudy gold with an inch of white head. Aroma of mandarins, light biscuit, some pine, grass clippings. Slightly coating mouthfeel - it's almost like the pith of a mandarin. 3- Some biscuity sweetness, lots of citrus, a firmly bitter finish. Not bad.
