Can at home, from HOTM online, 26/05/23. Murky orange with an off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is ripe tropical fruits, putty, light breads, weed, papaya. Taste comprises pine resin, mango flesh, stoned fruits, raw pineapple, light dank edge. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness with a spike of Nelson evident. Solid punchy DIPA.

Can in the garden, awaiting the roast pork, 27th September 2020. Pours a hazy orange beer. Aroma is pith and vineous, some marmalade. Taste is bitter and pithy, the Nelson is dominate, grass, green hop and a bitter pithy marmalade finish. Tasty stuff

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, reasonably smooth, decent fine carbonation emerging on the back end. Light smooth malts, reasonably sweet. Spicy hop intro, some decent orangey citrus, spicy tangerine, a little peel of both. Touches of floral citrus and a little floral grape on the back end. Citra outmuscles both the Kiwi hops here. When the quality of Nelson and Motueka was much higher, it would have been more of an even fight. Crisp citric peel bitter finish. Good.

Can from Bottles & Books. Milky golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of apricot and lemon sponge. Flavour of orange pith and bitter hops. Medium to full body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Pithy and raw.

Can picked up via Hoptimism, webshop, Loughborough, Leicestershire and consumed at home Attenkirchen, listening to Pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs - King of Cowards and then Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on 6Music. Pour is similar to the Careless Sun that I had earlier, so a bit like orange juice with a sticky white head. A little hop burn noted early on, this grows to become a bigger hop burn the more you sip. Soft mouthfeel, creamy oatiness, juicy, sweet a little bit all over the place, there are tropical and citrus flavours but somehow this lacks a distinct fruitiness, it's ok but not a patch on the Careless Sun.

Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours like strained soup. Looks like a full glass of the dregs you tip away out the bottom of a can. With a head on. Nose has milky oats. Nettles. Some well ripe citrus. But basically it’s like porridge with hops. Taste has harsh bitterness, and jarring, milky sweetness. Medium body. Fine carbonation. Some “hop burn”. Moderate bitterness to finish. Wow.
