Can at home, thanks to Mr N****n (name partially provided) for sourcing, 26/08/17. Hazed pale yellow golden with a decent off white head. Nose is pine, straw, melon, papaya, light spice, yeast strokes, soft breads, light floral strike. Taste comprises grapefruit, cantaloupe melon, pine resin, fresh grass, orange pith, aprioct, toasted malts. Medium bodied, fine massaging carbonation, semi drying close spiked with mellow dank edged hop bitterness. Solid crushable APA.

440ml can from Beergonzo. Canned 040817. Pours cloudy yellowish with a thick white head. Aroma of fresh, juicy and grassy hops, dank-ish herbal notes, citrus, chewy fruits and loads of pine. Taste is citrusy, juicy fruity and herbal hoppy with some pine, grass, floral notes and grainy maltiness. Finish is smooth, citrusy and juicy fruity with some pine and herbal hops, hints of bitterness. Pretty good, but could’ve used a bit more bitterness.

Can, picked up at the brewery. Milky, pale, yellow gold. Frothy, thin, lacing, white head. Pretty fantastic aroma to this. Peach. Mango. Ripe melon. Pulped orange. Some sappy pine. Background of vanilla ice cream malts. Taste is citrus and tropical fruit sweet, with some light, citrusy, resinous bitterness. Mouthfeel is fresh, juicy and soft. Really does drink like breakfast juice. Loses most of the juice towards the finish and ends up citrusy and lightly resinous bitter. Lovely.
