Can ordered from the brewery. Aroma has pine and underlying stone fruit. Hazy pale orange. Foamy translucent white head. Initial bitter hit, which follows through into the finish. Tart stone fruit edge. At first there was a juicy sweetness underneath but this soon retreated. Medium bodied. Slick but pithy. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent. I guess this is a Hazy IPA rather than NEIPA as it's not overly juicy. Although melon and coconut are referenced on the can and are not really in the mix but to add a slight touch to an otherwise punchy IPA

440ml can. Hazy, dark yellow-ish to orangey, golden colour with average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Sugary sweet-ish and slightly tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of vanilla, some mango, papaya, melon, orange, waxy overtones. Taste is bitter, slightly zesty, citrusy fruity and minimally tropical fruity hoppy, notes of orange peel, a touch of mango, papaya, a mineral and chalky sub-layer. Creamy texture, smooth and soft palate, fine and soft carbonation. Quite chalky, disharmonious, all fruity flavours are somehow impure, off target - so-so.

440ml can. Sweetish, ripe tropical fruity and citrusy with some grapefruit, pineapple, mango, citrus and floral notes, hints of bitterness and coconutty greasy notes. Okay, a bit gluey though.
