ABV: 6.7% IBU: - Ticks: 9
Ascent is a single IPA that packs a flavorful punch. It pours a hazy, deep orange with aromas of grapefruit and pine to evoke the spirit of summer. Hopped with Mosaic, Topaz and Simcoe, the first sips lend way to notes of peach, pineapple, lychee and citrus oils.

Passion fruit and green onion. Not bad for hazy IPA -- actually has some body. Hazy golden pour with good head. Light bitter finish. Can from Dominion.

Cloudy/hazy gold with a frothy, almost creamy off-white head and a mellow aroma of orange and nectarine. The mouthfeel has a creamy feel to it and to kick things off there’s a smack of hop bitterness, flavours of tropical, citrus and stone fruit coming through, before a long, dry bitter finish

355ml can from Sophie's Beerstore: Drank at home on 22nd Feb 2021. Hazy orange body, white topping of thin bubbles. Tropical fruit nose and taste, stone fruits mixed with lemon and lime like esters and flavours. Decent enough, taken after a seven mile walk; I needed a beer and this was the selected one to quench my thirst, it did that admirably.

355ml can from Sophiesbeerstore.Co.Uk. Unclear golden orange appearance, loose rocky white head. Aroma has grapefruit and assorted light stonefruit suggestions. Palate is gentle, smooth almost oily. Nice exotic character with pithy stonefruit, grapefruit, moderately sweet with a firm bitterness. Quite flavourful. Decent.

Can sourced from Beerdome and shared at home (31/05/2020) - (New brewery tick ✅) hazed orange pour with a white head. Tropical exotic fruity with some mango, papaya, grapefruit, tangerine in play, hop spice bite, green grassy piney notes going on, touch of residual rindy bitterness into the lingering hoppy finish. Good no nonsense drinkable IPA.

355ml can. Murky, orangey golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Piney and tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, oaty malty background, notes of passion fruit, mango, pineapple, pine, spruce, resin, some orange. Taste is dry, piney and tropical fruity hoppy, notes of pine, spruce, resin, passion fruit, mango, some woody pineapple, a touch of orange, peach and mandarine. Creamy, slightly mushy texture, dry palate, fine, slightly prickly carbonation. Quite dry, rather large piney hop portion; shows individual character regarding these aspects, but overall - just another NEIPA.

Can 330ml (Beerdome, canned 2nd Mar 2020) Hazy yellow colour, small steady white head and lace. Overriped sweet mango in the nose. Medium-bodied. Juicy, mango, pineapple, some hops, even some hop burn left. Robust sweetish neipa. Kind of simple. Ok.
