330ml Can - Hazy orange with a white head. Mango, mandarin and grapefruit in the aroma. Hoppy and juicy aroma with notes of tropical juice, orange and pineapple. Refreshing.

Can from Park Fever, Hither Green. Hazy orange pour with a white head. Apricot, tangerine, peach, mango, nectarine aroma. Very nice nose indeed. Zesty citrus action in the flavour. Very refreshing. Exceedingly tasty.

Can from the Craft Beer Shop, Little Chalfont, shared with Theydon Bois. Poured a murky orange straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, peachy fruit, light hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light watery dry light spicy, fruity hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can at home with and thanks to JmgreenUK, 19/05/17. Murky orange with a decent egg shell white head of bubbles. Nose is orange pith, straw, lemon drizzle, light spice, toasted bread. Taste comprises sharp citric peel, mineral notes, orange rinds, light bread, faint spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with earthy hop bitterness. Not a whole lot of depth or flavour. Not a revisit for me.

Can. Cloudy gold beer, small fluffy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and fairly dry, decent carbonation. Dry malts, thin creamy sweetness. Banana esters. Mild spice. Modest orange citrus. Dry finish. Doesnโt taste anything like a New England IPA, SIPA or anything else of that ilk. More like a Belgian ale! Annoying.

330ml can from Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours opaque indeed, persistently large white head. Aroma is soft floral, fresh peachy fruit. Somewhat deceiving, as expected a luscious fruity character, instead faced with a bitter biscuit crunch, lightly floral with distant fruity notes. Not quite a New England IPA, but pleasant enough for what it is.

Absolutely nailed this. All the lupulin oils. Huge mangoes and clementine notes. Papaya stonefruit. Super soft malts. Excellent osmosis.

Can from Utobeer. Sweet floral honey aroma. An opaque honey gold. Frothy white head, although it shrinks all too quickly. Initial bitter hit, which is amplified by lively carbonation. That grapefruit continues through to the finish, however itโs contrasted by sweet fruit juices. Light and watery. Long understated finish. A fresh and refreshing IPA. I could have easily downed it. Two thumbs up.
