440ml can. Murky, orange golden colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, white head. Rather restrained, piney and slightly tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, unspecific fruitiness, wheaty malty background with a minimally bready touch. Taste is slightly alcoholic, tropical fruity hoppy, minimally bready, wheaty malty basis, some residual sweetness, unspecific, somehow orange fruitiness. Mushy texture, smooth, soft and silky, minimally greasy palate, fine, soft, creamy carbonation. Rather monotonous, smoothie-like - OK.

Keg @ Tap and Can. Hazed murky golden orange appearance, small white head. Aroma of dank orange and muddled exotic notes. Continues to taste, sweet of course, but light enough to take the edge off it. Nice fleshy pulpy exotic character with a citric bitterness. Not bad.

Can at home in Barbados, 30th August 2020. Pours thick and hazy. Aroma is dank and fruity, tropical and citrus. Taste is smooth, tropical fruit, not overly sweet, loads of hops, light bitter, but just enough. Very good and easy to drink

Can. Hazy gold beer, tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry with a decent fine minerally crispness. Light malts, a thin creamy sweetness. Hops deliver a savoury skunk and a crisp pine and some slightly bitter citric peel. Whisper of tangerine in there and a trace or blood orange. Smooth but fairly dry finish. A decently hoppy offering that will appeal to those the acolytes of dank without offending people like me that don't like dominant dank. A good 15 seconds after that dry finish, you notice some hop burn on the back of the throat, pretty mild, just a hop itch really.

Can from Bottles & Books. Murky golden body with a white head. No visible carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of orange and pine. Flavour of pineapple and mango with a light hop burn on the finish. Full body with a creamy texture. Soft fizz. This is a tasty DIPA. It’s very drinkable for 10% ABV.
Can from Hoptimism. Cloudy thick golden colour with a white head. Aroma tropical fruity. Taste light bitter and slightly dank. Full smooth body.

Can picked up via Hoptimism, webshop, Loughborough, Leicestershire and consumed at home Attenkirchen, listening to Beruit - The Rip Tide, Sunday 7th June 2020 cooking Pastitsio and also Cannelloni. The third and final beer from Pentrich this weekend is their fourth anniversary brew Birthdays in Isolation. Pour is similar to the Careless Sun so looking a little like orange juice with a large sticky white head. Smooth, but with a noticeable buzz from the hops throughout. There is a creamy oatiness, it's juicy, also quite sweet fruity with citrus elements but there is tropical touches also. It's a nice beer.
