Retrace the Steps is a Double Dry Hopped NEIPA with masses of tropical flavour and aroma provided by the combination of Citra, Chinook, Simcoe and Mosaic. The beer has a carefully constructed malt bill and water profile which contributes to the body and mouthfeel of the beer. It is soft, delicate and should be enjoyed as fresh as possible.

Can from the Offie, Leicester. Deep gold, a bit hazy but not murky with a bubbly white head. Tangerine peel and passion fruit juice on the nose, with some heavy booze. Bittersweet taste with an unbalanced hop burn for the first few sips, but it mellows out a bit. A decent but unexceptional IPA from Neon Raptor.

440ml can from Ghost Whale. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, pine, herbal notes, citrus, grass and earthiness. Taste is crisp, juicy fruity and grassy with some citrus, grapefruit, pine, herbal and tropical notes. Finish is sweetish, crisp and fruity with some pine, grapefruit and citrus, hints of tropical fruits and herbal notes. Okay, but not really a NEIPA.

Can. Lightly hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and has decent fine carbonation. Smooth sweetish malts, a suggestion of vanilla, more of a rumour really. Tangy tropical fruits, mildly spicy mellow bitterness. Light semi dry finish. Flavoursome but I found this slighty disjointed. Bit tangy and bitter in the wrong places.
