Can. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a modest and slightly grainy sweetness. Light soft pine. A mild and mildly ripe citrus. Reasonably juicy citrus, modest peel bitterness. Mellow mild mangoish tropical fruits. Airy semi dry finish. It's fine but, in a world of great DIPAs, released on a weekly basis, this is well behind the curve.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 30/12/24. Murky orange topped with a lasting white head. Nose is tangerine, peach, soft malts, faint lime, orange zest. Taste comprises grapefruit, mandarin, melon, papaya, soft malts, pineapple. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come grassy hop bitterness. Decent enough easy drinking DIPA although would have liked a little more Sabro presence and overall more subdued than the previous offering I'd had from this brewer.

Can thanks to my bro. It pours cloudy golden - yellow with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, apricot, peach, nectarine, mango, touch green and fresh floury bread. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, green, weedy, ripe citrus, orange peel, kumquat, tangerine, mango, nectarine, peach, nip of booze, fanta, floury bread and crackery malts with a dry, orange peel finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Decent hazy. Drinks well.

44cl can, BB ?
Bizarement, nouvelle version avec nouveaux houblons mais l'étiquette du premier batch reste identique.
Couleur pâle, col épais crémeux blanc tenace.
Arôme est parfumé avec un bouquet ùarqué de fruits à noyaux avec une petite note de pot-pourri, petite pointe de thym en retrait.
Palais est bien houblonné, fruits à noyaux - pêche et nectarine avec un effet un 'boozy'. Mangue pour le tropical, herbacé délicat oscillant quasi sur le résineux. Bonne balance avec le malté avec une petite note de biscuité en fin de bouche.

44cl can, BB 18/10/2022.
Couleur dorée pâle trouble marqué, col épais crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme est frais sur le fruité tropical et agrumes - léger rétro-nasal de résineux avec une bonne balance des malts
Palais est bien malté avec un rondeur de l'avoine qui se ressent tout au long - le tout renforcé par un houblonné fruité sur les agrumes avec un léger retour résineux sur la fin. La base malt reste en support et l'effet neipa modéré par rapport à d'autres bières du style, enlevant ce côté levure épicée.

Can picked up from De Bierliefhebber, Elsen, Netherlands. Consumed at home Wednesday 21st April 2021, we have Spaghetti and Meatballs tonight I am working Loz is listening to Steve Lamacq's Evening Session on 6 Music. Pours deep yellow, very murky with a white head. Really fruity with tropical touches aplenty, tangy, passion fruit, nice thick mouthfeel, creamy. nice, really nice. This is certainly one of the better examples of this style that I have had in a while, my only criticism is that there was a little sediment in the bottom that I swallowed without realising. This was one of those hoppy beers that gave me a sneezing fit *btw I don't mind little sneezing fits
