Can at home, from HOTM online, 17/10/20. Hazed orange with a decent just off white covering. Nose is grapefruit, cantaloupe melon, light weed, passionfruit, juicy hop buzz. mandarin. Taste comprises orange pith, raw pineapple, mixed tropicana, light piss, grass, pine resin, papaya. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with lightly aggressive juice laden hop bitterness. Decent easy drinking DIPA ... presumed it was a 6.5/7% IPA until I went to rate it !

Can at home. Hazy murky ugly fruit juice appearance. White head. Over the top tropical fruit hop aroma. Not bad, but it makes the aroma so sweet you assume your drinking pineapple juice. It actually tastes somewhat like pineapple juice too. Doesn't taste bad, I quite like pineapple juice, but not when I want a DIPA.

18th July 2020 Can. Hazy gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a mild dryness, decent fine carbonation. Smooth light sweet malts, a nice light creamy sweetness, spot on. So the 3 experimental hops that were IPAed are now mashed up in to a dipa. Cracking idea. Each hop works better in this mash up than they did individually. Piney HBC692, big ripe tropical fruits from the HBC586, a level up in intensity from the IPA version. A nice bright citric melange from the HBC522. Smooth finish shows a little citric peel but more importantly, shows how well these new hops go together. Thank you HH for showing us the way.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced from All Good Beer HD. Pours milky gold with a frothy, white head. Medium to richly sweet, with some decent dankness, ripening citrus, papaya and mango, melon, nips of onion, soft rindy bitterness, background pale malts. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly warming finish, more dank notes, citrus and tropical fruits, nips of onion, low bitterness, touches of grass. It drinks really good overall.

Rocky white head left a froth on a ultra hazy dark gold body. Pineapple & Tropical aroma. Medium to full bodied, smooth on the tongue with a dry back. Bitter hops, pith, pineapple, sweet citrus, garlic & pine tastes with a very long tangy finish. First Class!
