A hefty malt base supports a hefty dry hop of Citra, Nelson Sauvin and Amarillo, providing an impactful combination of both savoury and citrusy flavours. The finish boasts a dessert wine esqué sweetness paired with a piney edge and rounds the whole thing off nicely, creating a full bodied yet palatable TIPA.

Can at home picked up from LHG online. A translucent golden orange coloured pour with a lasting fine white froth. Aroma is big sticky citrus, woody citrus, orange rind, little plastic, woody dank. Flavour is composed of medium sweet, sticky mixed citrus, orange, mango, grapefruit, fruit, bouquet, opal fruits. Well rounded and hides the alcohol super well. Palate is medium sweet, sticky hop, hop resin, moderate carbonation. Super tasty.

Panda thanks to Cloin: Poured a murky brown orange with a white frothy head. Aroma is sticky fruity and hops, really aromatic on the nose. Taste is fruity, sticky, bitters hops on the edges, citrus, tropical, melon rinds, tingles to the finish.

Can bought from the Growlers and Cans stall at West Byfleet Farmer's Market. Aroma has syrupy stone fruit with a touch of resin and a surprising meat balls and tomato sauce streak. The latter may have been me dinner though. Waxy pale orange. Foamy microbubbled translucent white head. Light-medium bitter. A boozy streak. Sweet syrupy stone fruit then comes through. The boozy bite remains throughout. Heavy bodied. Thick. Oily. Average carbonation. Long deceptively dry and slightly astringent finish. It's nice. A nice TIPA. Polite. It's really the palate that gives the game away.

Can at home, from LHG online, 26/02/21. Hazed orange with a well presented white covering. Nose is ripe tropical fruits, pine, hop spice, melon, weed. Taste comprises orange pith, grapefruit, pine resin, weed, light dank strokes, boosty tunes, papaya, mango flesh. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, light dryness in the close with a balanced rising boost clouded in lightly aggressive resinous hop bitterness. Solid high boost hops.
Juicy and fruity, orange and citrus, a bit of triple sec but remains smooth. Very nice.

Can. Mild to medium haze on this yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light malts, reasonably smooth, a modest soft creamy sweetness. Smooth piney hops. A reasonable amount of juicy citrus, not the brightest. Traces of pith and peel. A little pissy Nelson towards the smooth finish, not a lot of the winey grape of old, no surprise there then. Smooth finish. Goes down easy enough but ultimately a bit underwhelming.
