The beer that never misses the target; all the hoppy goodness of an IPA but brewed to a sessionable strength. Made with generous amounts of US West Coast hops, it's a full bodied, well-balanced and fruity beer, with flavours and aromas of passion fruit, gooseberry, grapefruit and mango.

[33cl can from B&M, Reading] A plae amber pour with a trace of white head; fruity citrus aroma - mainly orange; bitter orange taste, but rather thin and watery, with underlying straw; and then some sour mango to finish. Not an IPA I'd want again.

330ml can from Monster and Beer, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a lasting frothy white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is grainy malt, piney, weedy hops, light citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a fresh, crisp, dank, light juicy citrus, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A decent IPA and rather sessionable.

Citrusy hoppy and biscuity, pale malty aroma, notes of lemon, lemongrass, a touch of lemon drops, lemon balm. Taste is herbal and citrusy, minimally grassy, moderately bitter hoppy, slightly biscuity, pale malty, notes of lemon, lemongrass, lemon balm, a herbal touch of sorrel and thistle, subtle sweetness. Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Decent.

330ml can: BB 18th Feb 2022. Drank at home on 19th Mar 2021 during a random tasting session with myself. Mini haze to the light golden body, almost clear; wispy white head. Dank, dry and semi-bitter hops rule the aroma and taste, mild citrus leanings with a grapefruit front. It's a 'gimmick' beer and should be assessed as such.

O,33 boks fra GS, hjemme: nesten helt klar gylden med ok skum. Citrusinntrykk sammen med stikkelsbær og mango. Frisk og lettdrikkelig uten å være grensesprengende. 6-4-7-3-13

330ml can from B&M with nice artwork. Look - Clear yellow-gold, small white head, some retention; ok. Aroma - big citrus hit, some of that citra hop herb-cat piss which I now oddly quite like! Not bad. Taste - nice citrus with a biscuit malt base, some herb earthiness with a modest bitterness. Decent. Palate - light but fairly smooth, moderate carbonation, dry. Decent. Quite enjoyable.
