A classic hop-fest that fuses tropical flavours to recreate the intensity of a double IPA. The fantastic blend of US hops combine to give pineapple, citrus, pine and stone fruit aromas underpinned by a pine and herby flavour – topped off with an unapologetic slap of mango – to make this the ultimate summer thirst quencher

330ml can as part of a delivery from the brewery. Man, this gushed everywhere. But I was able to save about two thirds of it. Light gold and clear. Caramel, overripe tangerines in the aroma. Bittersweet taste with a gritty astringent finish. Some nice hoppy flavours in there but they are overtaken by the astringency. Not terrible but not all that interesting either.

330ml can. Clear gold pour, large white froth. Some fleeting bubblegum moments to taste before that Big Drop bitterness dominates. Bit thin on flavour. Ok AF sipper.
