It pours a light gold colour with an enticing haziness to it, we use a huge amount of American hops and the pleasant tropical aromas can be noticed even as the beer is being poured.
Mango, pineapple and guava flavours all burst forth with a great rounded mouthfeel, this type of beer is known for its soft and pillowy body and with the cask conditioning this becomes even more pronounced.

Cask at the Thornbridge taproom. Poured a hazy golden yellow colour with an everlasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light woody hops. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, crisp, malt, light woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask at Coach and Horses, Dronfield - Hazy yellow body, lasting white head. Fruity pine nose, with a herby retsina hint to it. Very nice, but a bit sticky.

Cask at Egham Beer Fest. Sweet fruity aroma with a resinous hint. Hazy dark mango. Frothy translucent white head. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. Bland... but is it Thornbridge.
