This is our brewery’s Heart & Soul.
Created to have all the hoppy goodness of an IPA, but brewed to a sessionable strength. Its intense fruit-salad character comes from generous additions of US West Coast hops. A full bodied and fruity beer, with notes of passion fruit, grapefruit, gooseberry, pineapple & mango.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2016. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Grapefruit hop aroma. Then mango some tropical fruit. But still intense. Very impressed with Vocation beers. Just lovely harsh lemon curd. Superb.

330ml can. Slightly cloudy, yellow-ish golden colour with huge, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. (Weaker than expected) citrusy and tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of pineapple, some passion fruit, a touch of gooseberry and mango. Taste is initially citrusy hoppy, hints of lemon, grapefruit, a chalky touch of lime, weak pale malty background with subtle sweetness, more a gap than a middle part, followed by a minimally chalky, watery fade-out; lasting chalky bitterness. Nice composition but in the end nothing more than a very short twinkle of flavours without vigour and persistence. Suggests itself to comment on parallels to a likewise flattering and facile Modern Talking song: "You’re my heart, ...".

Can from Old Shambles Tavern in York. Appearance - hazy golden with a nice fluffy head. Nose - grapefruit and papaya. Taste - mango and papaya. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. A bit thin in the middle though. Overall - a decent example of the style.

Can from We Brought Beer, Clapham, London - pours golden yellow with a medium white head. Aroma and taste is tropical fruity and hoppy, some nice grapefruit, mango, and a dash of citrus lemon across the palate, refreshing and easy drinking, packs allot of flavour in for its abv.
