Creamy off white head on a copper coloured body. Tropical fruit & mango aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharp back. Malt, exotic fruits, mango & grapefruit tastes with a bitter tangy finish. Well balanced - That's decent.

14th March 2022. 500ml bottle; BBD October 2022, into a Batemans pint sleeve at home. Clear amber/copper body, fast fading white head. Fruity front to both the nose and taste, not too sure about Big Waves of Passion Fruit & Mango flavours, but it was a pleasant IPA with enough malt within it's make-up to stop it being bitter or overpoweringly hoppy.

Bottled 500ml (KSM Kampus)
Clear copper colour, small white head. Passion fruit aroma and English malts in the nose. Light to medium-bodied. It is like English Bitter messed with passion fruit. Sweetish passion fruit and mango, bittering hops. Kind of unbalanced.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury's Darlington. Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of tropical fruits, hop. Taste is malty, biscuit with passionfruit, citrus and tangy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable

Bottle from Waitrose. Pours a clear copper colour with a large foamy off-white head. Aromas of mango, citrus and strawberry jam. Taste has more light tropical and citrus notes with a hoppy citrus pith bitterness on the finish. Medium body and slightly oily mouthfeel. Not bad.

[50cl bottle from Waitrose, Bracknell.] A bright golden amber pour with a tight cream head and gentle carbonation; aroma of peach; tasste of peach and mango, quite sweet but with a light earthy bitterness. Reminds me of Golden Glory - my favourite Badger ale until it was withdrawn.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Amber in colour, with a slight, white, head and touch of carbonation. Aroma of leafy hops, ripe mango and red berry fruit. Flavour had a touch of caramel, more berry and citrus fruits, leading to a dryish finish. A great improvement on the bottled beers from Badger I have tried in the past.

Bottle from Waitrose, Farnham. Aroma does have passion fruit as promised and sweet maltiness. Dark amber. Frothy bubbly white head. Medium sour. Zesty but raw. Underlying boiled veg and twigs. Light bodied. Slick but thin. Average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Pretty crap. Old school twiggy types playing with modern hops and not delivering.
