Named after the popular local deep sea diving pool made famous in the early 1900's for public diving displays and exhibitions during the summer holiday season in Portrush. The original diving boards are now long gone but many locals and visitors alike still have fun diving and jumping into the sea at this beautiful location looking out over the Atlantic Ocean.

440ml can from Vineyard, Belfast. Brought back to Jersey by a friend. Pours cloudy yellow with a good sized white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of passion fruit, peach, pineapple, orange, melon, pine, biscuit & hints of pepper. Medium body. Dry light bitter finish. Outstanding NEIPA & surprising to see the low ratings here

On tap at the Shanty. Pours a cloudy yellow with a bit of gold and a white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has a bit of citrus and light mango with sweet grass and sweet grains underlying. Flavor has slightly dank mango and citrus with a sweet grain backbone.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A cloudy pale amber pour with a loose white head; tropical fruit aroma; smooth and full-bodied with an oaty body and some mango and papaya; then a well rounded grapefruit bitterness before a satisfying warmth to finish. Very enjoyable.

330ml can from Beer52. It pours cloudy pale golden / blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is quite fresh, green, spicy, floury bread, tropical fruit vibes, melon, papaya , pineapple and a twist of citrus. The taste is firmly dry, slightly chalky, floury bread, touch of bitterness, green, weedy, spicy, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, kumquat, pomelo, waxy rind and soapy floral accents with a drying, zesty finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Decent hazy number.

Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 29/05/23. Murky dirty orange with a just off white cap that retains well enough. Nose is earthy tropical fruit rinds, orange peel, grass, melon, dirty edged. Taste comprises raw pineapple, hop spice, hedgerow, herb, bitter orange, grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with earthy come grassy hop bitterness. Okay IPA if a little unrefined.

Can from KWM. Appearance - the body is like a puddle, brown and murky. The head is very lively (a lot of C02 on opening) and tall and creamy. Nose - orange, fresh sweat and light herb. Taste - herbs, light onion and herb. Some citrus again. Palate - creamy and close to medium bodied, dryish finish. Overall - ok.
