With more fruity hits than a rock band consisting entirely of Carmen Miranda's hat, this slightly tart NEIPA shines with pineapple and passionfruit as well as the ever present tropical hops!

From a 650ml bottle on 9/4/2019. Pours golden with very slight haze and a small to medium head. Has a sharp and dank aroma with both pineapple and passionfruit sitting in the background. There's lots of pineapple and passionfruit in the taste but it's a fermenting fruitiness, finishing with a very sharp and somewhat harsh sour bitterness. The texture is slightly slick and the carbonation average. All up, not particularly NEIPA like in character and a pretty rough and strangely artificial drinking experience.

The passionfruit dominates the aroma, while the pineapple's a bit more prominent in the tasting. There's plenty of grapefruit bitterness, which is kind of at odds with what I expected - maybe too much of a blunt instrument that detracts from the more subtle flavours. Kind of fun but not my fave.

On tap at Galbraiths. Pours slightly hazy orange brown. Grassy aroma, something a bit savoury too, passionfruit, synthetic pineapple, mango. Medium body. Not quite for me.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a near clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has pineapple and very dank passionfruit with a bit of onion and bit of sweet grains underlying. Flavor has dank passionfruit and a bitter pineapple with onion and sweet grains backing.
